I’ve had many variations of Spinach Strawberry Salad through the years, and chances are that you have, too. They always have strawberries and spinach, of course. The other ingredients vary widely.

• Nuts are often included: toasted or candied pecans, walnuts or almonds are most common. Sometimes pine nuts.
• A variety of cheeses can be mixed in: gorgonzola, blue, feta, parmesan.
• Sometimes red or green onions make an appearance.
• Sometimes mandarin oranges show up.
• Sliced chicken, salmon or shrimp can be added.
• Numerous dressings are used on this salad as well: simple vinaigrette, balsamic vinaigrette, poppy seed, minty, herbed; the list goes on.

Truthfully I’ve never tasted a combo I didn’t like. Today’s post is my favorite combination. Today anyway. Another day and with different ingredients on hand, I might choose a different favorite combo. I guess my advice is to use this recipe as a guideline, but feel free to mix up the ingredients. It’s hard to go wrong when you start with spinach and strawberries.
