Strawberry Spinach Salad
Description
This Strawberry Spinach Salad pairs tender spinach leaves with sweet strawberry slices, crisp radish rounds, creamy avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Pine nuts add a nutty crunch, while crumbled feta cheese provides a salty contrast. The dressing, composed of extra-virgin olive oil, grape vinegar, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, oregano, and poppy seeds, unites these flavors with a slightly tangy and herbaceous note.
The salad’s texture features soft leafy greens with crunchy radishes and pine nuts, balanced by the juiciness of strawberries and tomatoes. The dressing complements the freshness without overpowering the ingredients. It can be served as a side salad during spring or summer meals or even as a light vegetarian main dish.
To maintain crispness and flavor, ensure the spinach is well washed and dried before assembling. The salad is best served shortly after tossing with the dressing to keep the ingredients fresh.
