STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Strawberry and Spinach Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette image

This is a great easy summer salad, with a lot of options as to mixing and matching. Plus the salad looks pretty fancy. You can throw in any summer fruit or berry with this mix, blueberries and raspberries are a good choice, as are blackberries later in the season. The nuts are optional but a pecan or roasted almond adds a little crunch and more protein!
