LIGHT STRAWBERRY-SPINACH SALAD

Light Strawberry-Spinach Salad image

This strawberry-spinach salad makes a wonderful light summer meal. All of the flavors and colors complement one another very nicely. Farmers here in Washington grow a lot of strawberries, and they're the sweetest ones I've ever tasted. I'm always looking for new and different ways to use them. -Perlene Hoekema, Lynden, Washington
