Best Ever Summer Strawberry Spinach Salad

"This is a very simple and delicious salad to make, especially in the summer. My family does not like spinach very much, but they love this dish. Also great to take to pot luck or church dinners as it is a "different" salad. The secret is to find the pale green fresh baby spinach leaves as opposed to the larger, tough, dark green ones in a bag! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!"

  1. I really liked this salad, but when I looked at the recipe it seemed like it needed something more than just lettuce and fruit. So when I made this for a main dish for dinner the other night, I used mandrin oranges, added slivered almonds, and half a sliced chicken breast on top. Turned out great. We also ate it with grilled pita bread. I wasn't sure about the dressing at first, but it came out really good. My husband insisted we add it to our collection.
     
  2. I've never made a cooked salad dressing and I was very pleased with the result. I threw the mix into my Magic Bullet to made the dressing smoother and prepared the salad as directed. Next time I would cut the dressing in half. It made far more dressing than we needed for one salad. For the lettuce I used baby spinach and mixed baby greens. Made for ZWT8
     
  3. This was a quick and simple salad, we enjoyed the lovely dressing. I chose to do mandarin oranges as I am allergic to strawberries and it was nice. My husband would have liked the strawberries, so next time I will make it for him.
     
  4. My family and I really enjoyed it! It wasn't AMAZING, thus not a 5-star rating, but I would make it again. :) VERY simple to make! Which is good!
     
  5. This is yummy!! It just had a slightly eggy taste though and the amount of dressing was too much or too sweet for the amount of fruit and vegtables. I used white vinegar, vindalia onion, fresh sliced strawberries, plus the rest of the ingredients. I might make this again cutting the sugar down a bit and maybe using less dressing.
