Spinach is a great leafy green to always have on hand in your refrigerator. It is an excellent source of Vitamin K, Vitamin A and folic acid. Strawberries are also fantastic to have on hand because they are, obviously, so flavorful, and they are rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C.

Tips for making Strawberry Spinach Salad with Balsamic Dressing

1. When preparing the dressing, shake the ingredients together in a jar rather than whisking them in a bowl. The vinaigrette will combine much more easily that way.
2. If you are making this salad in advance for a get-together, do not add the dressing until you are ready to serve. This will prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
