Single serving of spinach and strawberry salad topped with sliced almonds and crumbled goat cheese.

As pretty to look at as it is delicious, our spinach and strawberry salad is composed of fresh baby spinach, sliced strawberries, toasted almonds, and crumbled goat cheese.

The light, creamy dressing is made with fresh basil, white balsamic vinegar and a touch of cream, ingredients that complement the sweetness of the strawberries and grassiness of the goat cheese perfectly.
