Summer is right around the corner and a fresh salad is perfect for those hot summer days. No one wants to be baking dinner in a hot kitchen in the middle of the summer. This Strawberry Spinach Salad is the perfect solution.
You can make it for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. You can throw some grilled chicken on the salad to add some protein to it for a more substantial meal. I am also sharing the recipe for this amazing Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing.
Strawberry Spinach Salad
3 cups Baby Spinach
3 cups Mixed Baby Greens
2 Chicken Breasts, grilled and sliced, optional
1 pint Strawberries, hulled and quartered
½ cup Blueberries (optional)

¼ cup Feta Cheese
Directions:
- In a large bowl mix baby greens, grilled chicken, strawberries and blueberries.
- Top with pecans and feta cheese crumbles.

This dinner can be whipped up in just a few minutes and would make a great dinner for your girlfriends at your next book club, shower or get together. You can always substitute this recipe and add your favorite add ins. Just use what you have on hand for the salad if you don’t have all the ingredients that I have listed here.

Michelle, So happy you enjoyed it!
Yum! This is my favorite salad and I’ve been looked everywhere for a recipe for the vinaigrette! Thank you! How much roughly did this make and how long do you think it would keep? I’m wanting to make a larger batch and keep it for easy access…. so you think it would keep?
It makes about a cup and a half. It should last about a month. Thanks and Enjoy!
Strawberry dressing is so delicious mix with feta cheese —
I made this a month ago and it was fantastic! Since then, I have tried buying salad vinegrettes that sounded similar and they all don’t come close to this! I just love this dressing!
I will definitely be making this again soon. Instead of buying store bought, trying to compare! Thank you so much for the recipe.
Emilie- So glad you have loved it! Thanks for your kind words.
Delicious! Should this dressing be refrigerated (if made a few hours before serving?
Mary- I like to refrigerate mine. I hope you enjoy it!
Just wondering how long and how you store this
Hayley- I like to serve right away and store in refrigerator and use before the end of the week. Enjoy!
I just made this & I am RUINED for all future dressings. This is AMAZING!
Cynthia- I am so happy to hear this! We love it too!
IS THIS A SINGLE SERVING, NEED TO MAKE FOR A CROWD
Jan- This make about a 1/2 cup of dressing. It will cover a salad that you will be serving to a family of 6-7. You will definitely have to double or triple it for a large crowd. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
I wonder if you Could you use Raspberries instead of strawberries !
Susan- I think that would work just fine. Sounds delicious!
