Strawberry Spinach Salad
Light, bright and perfect for those lazy summer days, strawberry spinach salad is a time-honored favorite. The added zip of our lemon ginger vinaigrette is a unique flavor that you’ll devour. Thankfully, the leftover yummy dressing will keep in your fridge for up to a week!
When serving this salad to guests, we recommend reserving the blue cheese topping on the side as an optional ingredient. Blue cheese is one of those love it or hate it things, you know?
And here’s a little expert tip to help minimize waste: spray measuring cups and spoons with nonstick cooking spray before you measure out the honey. This helps the sticky texture slide right off and it slashes cleanup time.
