Hi friends!

This Loaded Strawberry Spinach Salad has long been my favorite summer salad. I’ve been making it for at least 10 years now and it just never gets old. It’s the perfect combination of flavors and also easy to customize to fit your taste preferences. There aren’t even any specific quantities needed. You can make as much or as little as you want to feed your family or feed a crowd. I tried to give you a rough estimate for 4 servings but don’t stress over the amounts. They’re not exact.

I love this salad because it has so many flavors but you can throw it together super quickly. If you’re really in a hurry, you can leave off the roasted sweet potatoes because those are really the only thing that takes any time to make, but I’d highly suggest including them. I usually roast them a day or two before I plan to make the salad and then just toss everything together.

This makes a great side salad to pair with your favorite dinner, but can also easily be turned into a meal of its own by adding your favorite protein. Add some grilled chicken or steak, some hard boiled eggs or even some chickpeas or lentils to keep it vegetarian.

Here’s how you make it:
