🍽 Ingredients

• 5 oz Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Poppy seeds
• 1/2 tsp Honey
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper

📖 Instructions

1. First, wash and thoroughly dry your spinach. If you're using a salad spinner, this step is a breeze. Otherwise, pat those leaves as dry as possible; soggy salad is a bummer.
2. Next, hull and slice your strawberries. How thinly you slice them is entirely up to you. I prefer a mix of sizes; some bite-sized, some larger chunks. It adds some visual interest.
3. In a large bowl, gently toss the spinach and strawberries together. Don't be a salad-bruiser! We want everything to stay nice and pretty.
4. Now, let's whip up that poppy seed dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, poppy seeds, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste it—add more honey or vinegar if you prefer a sweeter or tangier dressing. It's all about that perfect balance!
5. Once your dressing is ready, pour it over the spinach and strawberry mixture. Gently toss again until everything is evenly coated. Again, dont' smash the salad!
6. Before serving, give the salad one last look and taste test. Adjust seasonings as desired. Add a bit more honey, perhaps? A pinch of salt?
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your beautiful and delicious Strawberry Spinach Salad! Garnish with extra strawberries if you're feeling fancy. A sprinkle of chopped nuts? Even better!

📝 Notes

• For a creamier dressing, use a little more olive oil.
• If you don't have white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar works well too.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to your liking.
• Add some toasted nuts for extra crunch!
