Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add 4 cups of fresh spinach. Gently toss the leaves to separate them, ensuring a fluffy base.
Slice 1 cup of strawberries evenly and scatter them across the tossed spinach.
Carefully dice 1 ripe avocado into small chunks and sprinkle it over the strawberries and spinach.
Thinly slice ¼ cup of red onion and add it to the salad.
If desired, sprinkle ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese and ¼ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts over the salad.
Pour ¼ cup of poppyseed dressing over the assembled salad gently.
Using salad tongs, gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
For the best flavor and texture, serve the salad immediately after tossing.

Notes

Choose ripe avocados and slice strawberries just before serving to maintain freshness. Store in an airtight container without dressing for up to 2 days.
