Strawberry and Spinach Salad With Balsamic Vinaigrette

Submitted by Penny Stettinius

"I like the balsamic vinagrette combined with the sweet strawberries and fresh spinach. Unlike most salads with sweet berries the flavors are tangy and mild rather than sugary or syrup-y, allowing the sweetness of the berries to shine through. A little goat cheese on each serving would be nice but is optional. I hope you like it, too."

Yum! Little Miss (DD - 6 year old) loved this salad. I kept to the recipe and it only took me about five minutes to put together. I served it alone for me, but with Recipe #410074 for Hubby and Little Miss. Thanks for posting your recipe Trinkets.
