Ingredients
- 1 5 oz container baby spinach
- ½ pound fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- ¼ - ½ cup goat cheese crumbles

Instructions
- This step is optional, but if you want to toast the pecans simply spread them out on a baking sheet and toast in a 350° F oven for about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Make creamy balsamic vinaigrette dressing if you haven't already.
- Add spinach to a salad bowl and top with strawberries, avocado, goat cheese and pecans. Sprinkle on salt and pepper, to taste.
- Drizzle dressing over salad and toss or portion the salad and pass around the dressing to serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- creamy poppyseed dressing
- Red onion: Feel free to add 1/4 cup sliced red onion to this salad for extra flavor.
- Dressing: Swap the creamy balsamic dressing for this creamy poppyseed dressing.
- Storage: For leftovers, store the undressed salad in the fridge for up to 2 days. If already dressed, it’s best enjoyed the same day to keep the spinach from wilting.
