Strawberry Spinach Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing Variations

This amazing spinach strawberry salad recipe is easy to adjust to your liking. I thought I would give you a few ideas to try out:

• Chicken – If you’re eating this spinach strawberry salad recipe as the main course, you may want some protein. Grilled chicken goes beautifully!
• Walnuts – If you aren’t a fan of almonds or want to try something new, sprinkle in a few walnuts instead. They provide a nice crunch to the strawberry poppy seed salad.
• Pecans – Another nut option to try. I love the spinach strawberry salad recipe with some delicious sugar-free candied pecans. Don’t try it unless you want to fall in love – I warned you!
• Blueberries – Adding blueberries to this salad is out of this world!
• Bacon – I know you might think I am crazy, but adding some crumbled bacon takes the easy strawberry spinach salad to the next level. Plus, you can easily cook the bacon in the oven! (And is bacon ever a bad idea? No.)
• Steak – Grill up some juicy steak and add a few slices to the best spinach salad. Yum!
