Strawberry Spinach Salad
Is there anything better than a delicious healthy salad? Delicious salads are my jam and I enjoy one almost daily – they’re packed with greens and tons of other healthy ingredients and they’re SO flavourful!
This recipe for Strawberry Spinach Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing makes one of my favourite healthy, low carb salads of all time!
It’s about this time of year that fresh strawberries start appearing on our grocery store shelves and I just can’t help myself. Strawberries are one of my favourite fruits and paired with spinach, goat cheese and crunchy pecans they are perfectly sweet and delicious.
Lighter Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
Many spinach salads are served with a heavy, creamy poppy seed dressing, but my version is much lighter and healthier. It contains no mayonnaise and it’s sweetened with a touch of honey so it’s also refined sugar free making it a much healthier choice!
