This Spinach Strawberry Salad always shows up at church potlucks and family dinners. It is a simple and absolutely delicious strawberry spinach salad.
My sister Svetlana is a very creative and talented cosmetologist (hair stylist) and cook! She made this amazing Spinach Strawberry Salad for a family dinner a couple weeks ago and it’s quickly become my new favorite salad recipe. She made it again this weekend when we had family visiting from Washington and everyone was raving about it!
Here’s a tip: I’ve already tried it with red onion and found it to be overpowering, but the green onion/ chives are perfect! Hope you and your family enjoy this simple, yet tantalizingly good strawberry spinach salad.
Spinach Strawberry Salad Ingredients:
1 lb fresh Spinach
2-3 cups of fresh sliced strawberries
3 Tbsp chopped green onions or chives
Poppy Seed Dressing Ingredients:
1 cup of mayo
1.5 Tbsp poppy seeds, rinsed and drained
2 Tbsp of vinegar
1/3 cup of sugar
How to Make Spinach Strawberry Salad:
1. Combine all of the dressing ingredients (mayo, poppy seeds, vinegar and sugar) and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Wash and dry spinach, then place it into a large bowl. Slice strawberries and add them to a bowl as well.
4. Sprinkle chopped green onion over salad and mix in prepped dressing to taste (you may not use all of it – and that’s ok).

Hi Bill, this was just plain white vinegar.
A Mother’s Day HIT!! Incredible salad! I added blueberries though could not find poppy seeds. The dressing goes very, very far and is so yummy. I was surprised how the green onions added a nice “pop” to this salad. Definitely making again and again and again.
That’s so great Lisa! We love this salad and it is indeed so perfect for Mother’s Day! Thank you for sharing that wonderful review!
Natasha, i tried 4 of your recipes in 2 days. There all were so delicious, especially this salad. You are such an inspiration to me in many ways!
I’m so happy to hear that! 🙂
Hi Natasha! Have you tried to use chia seeds instead of poppy seeds? I was wondering if it would make a difference in taste? (I’m trying to incorporate the chia in as many recipes as I can since they are so good for you.) Thanks!
Hi Marina, chia seeds will turn the dressing into gelatin the longer it sits so I would not recommend using chia seeds.
