Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Baby spinach
- 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Almonds, sliced and toasted
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 0.33 cup Vegan balsamic vinaigrette
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the baby spinach leaves. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Rinse and slice the strawberries into thin, even pieces. Add them to the salad bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Use about 1/4 cup or adjust to taste, and add it to the bowl.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat when golden and fragrant, then let them cool slightly before adding to the salad.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Gently add the diced avocado to the salad bowl.
Drizzle the vegan balsamic vinaigrette over the salad. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients without crushing the avocado or strawberries.
If desired, garnish the salad with chia seeds for added texture and nutritional benefits.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
