Easy Strawberry Spinach Goat Cheese Salad Recipe

This strawberry spinach goat cheese salad takes just a few minutes to make, but tastes totally satisfying and gourmet. While this strawberry spinach salad with goat cheese is perfect for summer months when strawberries are at their peak, we eat it all year round when we have strawberries in the fridge. My strawberry spinach salad recipe calls for a quick balsamic vinaigrette, which is a little different than the traditional poppyseed dressing, but you can also use a store-bought dressing to save a few minutes.

Serve this salad with grilled chicken drumsticks or lemon risotto for a full meal.

How to Store Leftover Strawberry Spinach Salad

Take the dressing out of the fridge 30-60 minutes before eating so that the oil has time to warm up a bit.
