Sweet Strawberries From Farmer’s Market Make Best Fresh Strawberry Spinach Salad Recipe
Enjoy this blog written by Holly in the spring of 2018:
I was recently in San Francisco visiting my daughter and we went to the Farmer’s Market at the Marina and had the best time tasting all the flavors. We brought home strawberries that were so sweet (loved all the sampling) and I couldn’t wait to find a fresh strawberry recipe. I knew immediately I wanted to make my Strawberry Spinach Salad recipe with Spiced Walnuts to use them in!
Nothing beats seasonal plump, juicy, sweet strawberries. One of my favorite recipes for the summer is my Strawberry Kiwi Mixed Green Salad from Eating Well To Fight Arthritis cookbook. Seasonal ingredients topped with Spiced Walnuts and a delectable raspberry Dijon vinaigrette may sound gourmet but this easy healthy recipe is so simple to put together!

Fresh Strawberry Recipe For Strawberry Kiwi Salad with Spiced Walnuts Recipe
At the Farmer’s Market, we bought strawberries, spring greens and walnuts plus much more. Haley said she would add these ingredients to a salad making it the perfect fresh strawberry recipe. I always say toss fruit in your salad and all these years she had been listening. My favorite salad recipe is below but I always say cooking is creative and here’s the salad Haley put together. She didn’t have any salad dressings so we topped it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar – a must have pantry staple just for salad emergencies just like this!
Tastes as Good as it Looks
I like to serve this fresh strawberry recipe when I have girlfriends over for lunch or even brunch. It’s light and refreshing, and using Louisiana strawberries makes it to die for! This salad is so easy to make, but your guests won’t be able to taste that it only took 5 minutes (if that!) to prepare. If you want to make it a heartier meal then add a few strips of leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken. I love salmon and sometimes I make extra of my Glazed Salmon from KITCHEN 101 cookbook for the most delicious entree salad. The savory protein is the perfect contrast.
