Strawberry Spinach Salad with Homemade Poppyseed Dressing
Whisk together- that is IT! Now you can breath..AHhhhhh… |
I use pre-packaged baby spinach and just toss it in a nice bowl (I do not remove my stems), then add sliced strawberries and slivered almonds. |
Strawberry Spinach Salad
1 10oz bag of baby spinach (or appx 6 cups of leaves)

Dressing

1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 tsp worcestershire
1/4 cup sugar

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I absolutely love this type of salad.
I am TOTALLY making this. I just happened to buy spinach and strawberries tonight (my local Meijer, $1 each). Bought almonds for 75¢ this past week at Kroger. ALL IN! Thanks, Janelle (and Courtney too). My family will love this, I believe.

I make a similar salad except I add chopped pear and gorgonzola cheese also.
Wow…and here I thought I made a good strawberry salad. Not quite…but this one sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing.

We had day camp at church this past week and had to bring our lunches each day. I made this salad for the first time to take to camp. Oh my goodness is it GOOD!!!!
Julie, so happy everyone enjoyed your salad!!!! YEA! Thanks ladies, may you have many happy memories enjoying this one with your family and friends. Love to you, Janelle
This salad looks wonderful! Did I miss the measurements for the dressing?? I usually buy poppyseed dressing, but would love to make my own. Thanks!
My family lives on this recipe in the summer. I grill chicken breast, and we all have a heaping plate of our favorite spinach strawberry salad! So delicious!
Hope you all love it as much as I do!
I'd like the measurements for the dressing too…..I'm a recipe follower and not adventurous.
Oooops!!! They were there and then they did a disappearing act!!! Sorry about that – they are there now!

This is such an amazing salad:) It is so pretty. It is good with a little cheese in it too, like feta;)
Happy Day!

This looks so tasty! I must make this soon. 🙂
I make a salad like this but instead of almonds I use sunflower seeds and a raspberry vinaigrette. It is such a refreshing and well, pretty salad!
We eat salads with fruit all of the time. We love blueberries and strawberries in it and gorgonzola cheese, too.
In the fall I use pear, craisins,(my dad is an Ocean Spray cranberry grower!) sugared pecans and gorgonzola.
I add grilled chicken or beef strips to make it a meal. 🙂
