A summery light salad recipe that I’m sure you’ll love: its best feature is the strawberry which gives a pleasantly sweet taste to spinach and quinoa. The sauce is a simple balsamic vinegar sauce with oil and garlic. You will be amazed at how strawberry matches with the balsamic vinegar! This salad is very easy and very quick to make. It’s also a balanced meal as you get protein from quinoa, good fats from the almonds, and a whole lot of vitamins and trace elements from spinach and strawberries.
