Make my easy recipe for Strawberry Feta Spinach Salad for your next brunch or dinner party! An easy-5 ingredient seasonal gluten-free salad that is sure to impress your guest!

I ate the most amazing Strawberry Spinach Salad back in January during my press trip with the Florida Strawberry Growers Association. I knew that I needed to recreate it. Once I got back from my trip, I got in the kitchen to start working on the recipe.

I made my own Strawberry Balsamic Dressing and then I started to experiment with different versions of a Strawberry Feta Spinach Salad. I finally found a combo that most resembled the salad I ate on my trip (minus the sweet candied walnuts). I then brought it with me to a friends house for dinner one evening. Everyone devoured the salad, and at that moment I knew I had a winning recipe.

Directions

The salad itself takes about 10 minutes to make if you already have the homemade dressing made. The dressing is definitely key to the salad. I like to pour at least a quarter to half a cup of dressing on the fresh spinach itself.

Then I add in some of the fresh strawberries, feta and sliced almonds. I give it a really good toss and then let it sit in the refrigerator until guest arrive. Because it’s spinach it’s okay if the leaves are a tad wilted and it actually holds up in the refrigerator with very little wilting for at least one to two hours.

Before serving, I toss it one additional time and top the salad with additional fresh strawberries, feta cheese, and almonds.

Tips & Tricks

  • Serving – Place some tongs in the bowl and let your guest serve themselves. Or if you prefer to have plated salads you can plate the mixed salad and then add the topping on to each plate.
  • Homemade Salad Dressing – You can make the Strawberry Balsamic Dressing a day before you plan to serve the salad. I like to coat a little bit of the salad with the dressing then serve additional dressing in a salad shaker next to the salad or on the dinner table. Some people like lots of dressing and others like just a little.
  • Store Bought Dressing – If you don’t feel like making the homemade strawberry balsamic dressing you can easily use a store bought balsamic dressing.
  • Nuts – If you want to spice things up you can add in my candied walnut recipe or even toasted pecans.

    I always have such boring salads for lunch – but this one looks incredible! Such a summery vibe with the strawberries, and feta is my fave
