Ingredients

Basil Vinaigrette

1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 lemon juiced
¼ cup olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Salad

1 5 ounce container baby spinach
1 cup strawberries quartered
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

To make the basil vinaigrette, add all of the ingredients to a small food processor or blender, and process for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until smooth and bright green.
To assemble the salad, place spinach on a large serving platter or salad bowl. Scatter strawberries, feta and almonds on top. Drizzle with dressing and serve.

Notes

Storage: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but any leftover spinach strawberry salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. To make this salad ahead of time, keep all components separately and then assemble them before serving.

Tips:

Use a serving platter or shallow salad bowl with a larger surface area. This makes tossing the salad easier without damaging the delicate spinach leaves.
Serve the salad chilled for the best flavor.
Don't overdress the salad. Start low and add more dressing as needed to avoid soggy salad.
