Strawberry Spinach Salad with Avocado and Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing

This Strawberry Spinach Salad with Avocado and Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing is light, healthy, and super quick to prepare! You’re going to love this salad recipe.Every girl needs a go-to salad recipe that is equally easy to make and impressive. One that she can throw together in 10 minutes to add it to dinner, bring to a social event, or make a quick lunch. This is that salad.

With minimal chopping, you can throw the salad portion together in about five minutes. It’s got all the usual players you find in a Strawberry Spinach Salad (spinach, strawberries, almonds) with the addition of avocado. Avocado always make a salad better, no?Then there’s the Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing. It’s as simple and putting a few ingredients in the blender and blending until smooth. We’re talking maybe another five minutes.

This is what adds the impressive factor to this salad. That color! The flavor is tangy and light and it tastes great on the salad.

Isn’t this dressing just the prettiest?! —>Insert heart eyes emoji here<—-

You only have to invest ten minutes into this salad. Busy moms, can I get a HELL YEAH?

Many times you’ll find a soft cheese on a Spinach Strawberry Salad, but I don’t add it here. I feel like it would just compete with the avocado and add too much creaminess. By all means, add some goat cheese or feta if you prefer. I won’t judge you for that decision.

I should also add that you can make this with all spinach, or a mix of spinach and other greens like you see in the photos. I made it with a power greens blend. I like to get as big of a variety of greens as I can, so I usually get a blend rather than all spinach. 

I hope you love this salad as much as I do!
