Toss together some Spinach & Strawberry Salad & then express your creativity!

I have to admit that I've played around with this salad for years☺ Once I get the basics into the bowl, if I have some pecans or cashews or slivered almonds - I'll pop in a few. I've even been known to toss in a few sliced mushrooms or dried cherries or a tiny bit of sweet onion. Make it, eat it and then let your imagination run wild! The bones of this delicious salad are there, your creativity will provide the rest!
