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

My Top Tip: Don't overdress your salad! Start out with just a little of your basil vinaigrette, then gradually add more as needed. You want to be sure your leaves are evenly coated without becoming soggy.
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.
