Foodie Friday: Strawberry Spinach Salad

May 22, 2015 by Jeanne

strawberries

When you have fresh spinach and strawberries and an old orange that’s seen better days, what do you make? Strawberry spinach salad!

This salad recipe is easy to make and blends just the right amount of sweet-tart fruit flavors on a solid base of spinach. I made it today for lunch using fresh ingredients from the garden. You can also use ingredients from the store or the farmer’s market. The fresher the fruits and vegetables, the better.

To make this recipe, you will need:

  • 2 cups of fresh baby spinach leaves, washed, and with the thicker stems removed
  • 10 small, very ripe strawberries
  • 1 orange or 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt and pepper

Rinse the spinach leaves and arrange them in your favorite salad bowl. Rinse strawberries and trim stem ends; slice thinly and arrange on top of spinach. Sprinkle feta on top of spinach and strawberries. Juice the orange (or use bottled juice) and mix juice with olive oil for the dressing; pour over the top, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, serve immediately. Makes 1 main course of 2 side salads. Enjoy!

    I have a different version of this and it never fails to please — at Christmas (perfect color combination for that time of year.)

If you’re thinking about building a vegetable garden this year, raised beds are one of the best ways I know of to start a vegetable garden.

Winter Homesteading Projects

Even though it’s cold and snowy out, winter homesteading projects beckon. As I write this, snow is falling in sheets outside my office windows, covering the orchard trees with a blanket of white. Last week, an ice storm knocked power out for 36 hours – and knocked pines down every which way. We had poles…
