STRAWBERRY & JICAMA SPINACH SALAD FOR TWO



Strawberry & Jicama Spinach Salad for Two image

This is a wonderful light salad. I love strawberries and spinach salads with balsamic dressing. This gives the extra crunch from the jicama. Great anytime of the year you want something light and refreshing. Add grilled chicken to make it a full meal.
