Tips for making Strawberry Spinach Salad
Here are my top tips for making the best strawberry spinach salad ever:
- 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.
- 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.
Use my simple tips above to ensure your salad turns out perfect, every single time!
