Helpful Tips
For a variation, try adding some grilled chicken slices to make this salad a more hearty meal. If you’re not a fan of feta cheese, you can substitute it with goat cheese or leave it out entirely for a lighter option. For a nut-free version, sunflower seeds make a great alternative to almonds.
Storage Instructions
While this salad is best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftover vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Assemble the salad just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and vibrant.
Pairings
This Strawberry Spinach Salad pairs brilliantly with a loaf of artisanal bread and a plate of assorted cheeses. For drinks, a chilled glass of white grape juice or a light sparkling water with a splash of lemon would complement the salad wonderfully.
