I always look for salads that feel like a real meal, not just a side dish. For me, spinach and strawberry salads are a perfect choice. The sweet berries and tender spinach just work well together, and you can add almost anything you have on hand. I make these year-round, using frozen berries in winter and fresh ones when they’re in season.

They are easy to put together, look nice on the table, and are a good way to get a filling, tasty lunch or light dinner.
Here are 21 spinach strawberry salad recipes I make often.
