I made for an Easter side dish. This was so good! I’ll definitely be making this again.

Truly delicious!  And so simple.  Added blueberries.  Made dressing with raspberry vinegar and it was sublime !

This is THE best salad!  I made it for Easter and again for Father's Day!  My guests rave about it.  It is easy and delicious, and best of all nutritious.  Make it!  You won't be disappointed!

I made this and skipped the pecans and substituted a can of drained and quartered mandarin oranges. It was awesome!

Beautiful receipts love to learn from this one of the top of places for leaning great cooking tips love it

Tried this recipe on Saturday. It is the best Strawberry Spinach Salad ever!! On the menu tonight to go with salmon.

I made the spinach strawberry salad tonight and used fresh blueberries instead of strawberries and used blue cheese crumbles. It was one of the best salads and your dressing recipe was fantastic. I used a raspberry balsamic. Just delicious!

This was absolutely delicious! Lots of flavor and makes a great presentation!

This was delicious and I will definitely make it again. I did substitute almonds for the pecans and was a bit skeptical about the soya sauce in the dressing but it really does work!

Very lightly dress the salad right before serving (reserving some of the dressing on the side for people to add more, if desired) and toss to coat.

Divide on individual plates, making sure not all the goodies get left behind. Enjoy!

Made this recipe for friends - we all loved it. The avocado added just the right touch of something unique in the salad. Followed directions exactly with no changes. Dressing was awesome and very creamy. Will be my go to salad for gatherings!

I paired this salad with with your Slow Cooker Hurry Chicken, which turned out to be a perfect match and made the Homemade Creamy Poppyseed dressing, which is a winner, for sure.

Served this for a ladies lunch and everyone loved it. It's so pretty on a buffet table and tastes amazing. The dressing is SO good.

I've made this recipe a few times, varying the dressing, sometimes a vinaigrette sometimes creamy. The poppyseed is my fav.

This salad is perfection. The dressing was amazing!

This Strawberry Spinach Salad is pretty as a picture. The Lemon Basil Poppyseed Dressing and Sweet, Spicy Glazed Pistachios are the crowning glory!

cranberries

water

chili powder

butter

strawberries (quartered)

cucumber flowers cucumbers

Lemon Basil Dressing

For the dried cranberries:

Combine dried cranberries and water in a small microwave-safe bowl or cup. Place in microwave and cook on high power for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave, stir with a fork and set aside to cool, uncovered. (If you don&#039;t have a microwave, simply pour 2 teaspoons of boiling hot water into the cranberries and stir. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to use.)

Place a piece of foil, approximately 1½ feet long, on a work surface. Spray with cooking spray or rub with some oil and a paper towel.

Combine honey, chili powder and salt in a small bowl. Set aside

Melt butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add pistachios and stir for 1-2 minutes or until pistachios smell fragrant.

Add the honey mixture and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until nuts are golden honey is reduced and coating the nuts.

Remove from heat and transfer pistachios to the prepared foil. Spread apart as much as possible with the back of a spoon or rubber spatula.

These pistachios can be prepared a few days in advance. After cooling store in an airtight container.

For the Sweet and Spicy Pistachios:

In a large serving bowl, toss together spinach, ¾ of the strawberries, ¾ of the cucumbers and all of the red onion. Drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of the Lemon Basil Dressing and toss again. 

Top salad with remaining strawberries, cucumbers, the plumped cranberries and a generous sprinkle of the Sweet and Spicy Pistachios. Serve immediately with additional dressing on the side.

I made the strawberry and spinach salad for a family dinner last weekend. Loved making the cucumber flowers! The salad and dressing were delicious, but had trouble with the pistachios. They came out too sticky, so I just used lightly salted pistachios instead. I made half a recipe of the pistachios , because I didn't need a large amount. Maybe that was the problem. Any suggestions?  Everyone loved the salad. Thanks for thee recipe.

I’m making this next Wednesday! A few friends are coming over for lunch and they chose this recipe of yours. It looks fabulous. I’ll let you know what they think.

This happens to be one of my favorite spring salads Chris! Looks fantastic!

Absolutely perfect salad! And since it's snowing outside my window at the moment, I'm soaking in all the bright colours and freshness big time :)

This is a definite show  stopper! The ingredients are perfectly paired to deliver the best taste ever, and the visual appeal is off the charts.

Hi Chris, It was great to receive this fabulour recipe after saving the dressing recipe a week or so ago. How long do you leave the pistachio's to cool and would they store for use later or a snack?
Thanks again!

This delicious strawberry spinach salad is perfect for spring and summer! The strawberries, greens, and tangy poppy seed dressing make it taste super bright and fresh. Feel free to assemble it up to 1 day ahead if you&#039;re making it for a potluck or special occasion. Just wait to add the dressing until right before serving!
