    Which nutrients are in this salad?

    The dark green spinach leaves and bright red strawberries are beautiful together. Beyond that, you get some excellent nutrition as a result of this tasty dish. Strawberries and spinach are both good sources of Vitamin C, potassium and folate (vitamin B9). Strawberries also add manganese while spinach is a great source of magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin K, and other vitamins and minerals.

    Best salad dressing

    To make this salad shine it's very best light, add our fresh strawberry vinaigrette. It's straight fro salad dressing heaven! Fresh strawberries blended with pomegranate vinegar and olive oil create a sweet and snappy dressing perfect for summer salads. In our book, there is nothing like homemade salad dressing to finish off a good salad. Period. This salad and it's dressing are MFEO (made for each other!)

    How to prep ahead of time

    You can prep some of this salad ahead by toasting almonds and baking bacon in the oven together. Click here for instructions on How to Cook Bacon in the Oven . Next, just bag and freeze. They'll stay fresh for at least three months. Then, when temperatures are hot, just pull out your bacon and almonds and prep the rest without heating up the kitchen. This salad is a favorite of ours. We hope you'll love it too!

    Enjoy!
