Ella and I recently had a strawberry ice cream-themed movie night and had some fun creating healthy supper recipes using freshly picked strawberries. This Strawberry-Peach Salad recipe was the perfect side dish – but with a bit of protein (quinoa, chicken or even a handful of nuts) it would make a great entree salad!

Strawberry Spinach Salad Recipe

Actually, this salad was supposed to be a Strawberry-Peach-Pecan salad but a certain four year old picked all of the pecans out and ate them before I could get any pictures. The fruit and nuts (and not to mention that salty feta cheese) was my way of making a healthy salad a bit more appetizing. My usually not picky eater hates spinach but she ate this salad with no complaints!

We also skipped store-bought dressing by making a simple olive oil and balsamic dressing that really let the ingredients of this salad be the focus. I’m a big believer in serving greens with fats (to aid with proper digestion and absorption).

We paired this strawberry salad with our almond-crusted chicken and fresh strawberry salsa.
