Eat Your Spinach! Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette
Spinach made Popeye the Sailor strong and it’s a veggie that everyone should eat regularly.
Spinach has awesome cleansing and nourishing properties for the digestive tract, intestines and colon. When properly prepared, spinach is highly beneficial in correcting many common ailments. Dreamy, right?
This spinach salad is super tasty and not sweet at all – but the berries provide bursts of fruitiness which make it delicious and refreshing. The pecans are simply toasted, but once they’re coated with vinaigrette dressing, you’d swear they were candied.
