Have you ever tried the Strawberry Spinach Salad Recipe? With sweet strawberries, herby chicken, tangy feta, and crunchy pecans, this summer salad will convert even the most adamant spinach haters after just one bite. This light and refreshing salad allows sweet flavors to shine (hello, strawberries) but is balanced out by the crisp textures and aromas of our other ingredients. Remove the chicken for a lighter summer side dish, or add it for a full main!
If you don’t like spinach, you could substitute romaine lettuce, but we also prefer this salad with arugula. You could even mix some in with the spinach for a great spicy taste. While we enjoy this classic flavor combination, feel free to experiment! Replace the feta with creamy goat cheese, replace the pecans with walnuts, and make the dressing with your favorite balsamic vinaigrette. This customizable salad is entirely modifiable to whatever you have on hand/want!
