Summer Strawberry Spinach Salad ~

My Summer Strawberry Spinach salad is a regular around my house during the summer. It 's easy, good and quick and you don't have to cook! The most you have to do is slice the strawberries and throw it all together in a bowl. Just after I took this photo . . .  the kids and I had it for lunch and there wasn't anything left.  Each time I make this salad, the bowl is always empty.  Recipe below if you would like to make it . . .

Summer Strawberry Spinach Salad

~~~~~~~~~ 

1 Bag of Baby Spinach (or fresh spinach)

Fresh strawberries ~ washed and sliced (as many as you like)

1 can of Mandarin oranges (or more if you like)  ~ juice drained well 

Craisins (dried cranberries) ~ as many as you like

Sliced almonds ~ scattered on top as desired 

Toss all the ingredients together in a bowl (I use a shallow bowl, the strawberries, craisins, mandarin oranges sink to the bottom of the bowl). I use a balsamic vinaigrette (Paul Newman's) on each serving. 

I have used chopped chicken and edamame's which are very good. You can add any ingredient that suits you. It's just a great summer salad and it's very easy to make.

Enjoy!
