Spinach and Strawberry Salad
Imagine a bed of tender baby spinach, paired with juicy slices of fresh strawberries, creating a visual masterpiece that’s as delightful to the eyes as it is to the palate. The addition of thinly sliced red onion, cucumber, and creamy diced avocado adds layers of texture and complexity to this vibrant salad.
To elevate the experience, we’ve crafted a light and flavorful dressing. Extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, a hint of sweetness from optional honey, and the warmth of ground ginger come together in perfect harmony, creating a dressing that complements the natural sweetness of the strawberries and the earthiness of the spinach.
