Baby Spinach & Strawberry Salad

When making salads, I love combining sweet with savory flavors along with a mixture of textures (crunchy and soft). This Baby Spinach and Strawberry Salad with Honey Balsamic Dressing does just that. I hope you enjoy it as  much as my family does. :0)

    • Thanks, Sarah! I’m longing for summer too, although I can’t really complain too much since we haven’t had much snow or cold weather here in Colorado. :0)
