Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 8 ounces baby spinach
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ¾ cup feta cheese crumbles
- 1 avocado, sliced or diced
Dressing
- Balsamic vinaigrette for serving (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Combine spinach and strawberries: In a large bowl, add the baby spinach and sliced strawberries, then toss gently to combine and distribute the fruit evenly.
- Add onions, almonds, avocado, and feta: Incorporate the thinly sliced red onion, sliced almonds, diced or sliced avocado, and feta cheese crumbles into the bowl, folding carefully to maintain texture and freshness.
- Dress the salad: Serve the salad with your choice of balsamic vinaigrette, either homemade or store-bought, drizzling just before serving to keep the ingredients crisp.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh ripe strawberries and ripe but firm avocado.
- Toasting the almonds lightly enhances their crunch and flavor.
- Customize the salad by adding grilled chicken or nuts if you desire more protein.
- Use gluten-free balsamic vinaigrette to keep the salad gluten-free.
- Prepare the salad right before serving to prevent wilting and sogginess.
