You Only Need 6 Ingredients!

Some of the best salads out there are ones that don’t require much. Just like our Tomato Mozzarella Salad, this strawberry and avocado salad is made with only a handful of ingredients! 

  • Spinach
  • Strawberries
  • Avocado
  • Red Onions
  • Almonds
  • Poppy Seed Dressing

The dressing is so creamy and delicious. It’s tart, sweet, and pairs so well with the bright strawberry avocado salad. It can be made up to 3-5 days ahead of time and kept refrigerated.

What Else Can You Add?

Once you master this basic spinach salad with strawberries and avocado, you can easily change it up.

  • Try adding some salty crumbled feta cheese, goat cheese, gorgonzola, or Asiago cheese.
  • Don’t like almonds? Try walnuts, pecans, or pine nuts.
  • For protein, grilled chicken, shrimp, or chopped hard-boiled eggs work great.
  • You can easily substitute sliced fresh peaches for some or all of the strawberries.
  • For extra crunch, try cucumbers, especially those little Persian ones. 
  • Lastly, thinly sliced fresh basil always brightens up any salad. 

How to Make Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad

Have all of your ingredients washed, sliced, and prepped. To save on prep time, you can make the Poppy Seed dressing ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

  • Step 1: Arrange the salad – Add spinach to a large salad bowl. Arrange the strawberries, avocado, red onions, and almonds over the spinach.
  • Step 2: Add the dressing – Spoon Poppy Seed Dressing over the salad and enjoy.

This salad is beautiful and tastes the best when served promptly. If you’re planning on taking this salad to a potluck hold off on adding the avocado and dressing until just before serving.

    Katya, believe it or not, I had a bowl of salad for breakfast today 🙂 Usually, it is my lunch. I try to eat avocados on the daily basis as well for the supply of fiber, potassium and healthy fats. I love it so much, I scoop out the flesh and eat it without seasoning. To be honest, being a huge fruit lover, the combination of leafy greens and fruit/berries is not very appealing to me. I skip the strawberries in my spinach salad but my boys will enjoy them. Should definitely try your poppy seed dressing. Thanks for the recipe!

      I can live off avocados too and have them quite often for breakfast too! That’s the great thing about this salad is you can alter it to make it your own. Poppyseed dressing though is super delish whether you skip the strawberries or not. Hope your boys enjoy it!
