Eggless Cilantro-Lime Spinach & Strawberry Salad
Bright, fresh, and bursting with color, this spinach and strawberry salad is the kind of dish that makes people stop and stare before they even take a bite. Sweet sliced strawberries, peppery baby spinach, and fragrant cilantro come together in a combination that feels both unexpected and completely natural. The zesty lime-honey dressing — whisked together with olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper — ties everything together with a citrusy kick that keeps each forkful lively. Dry-roasted pepitas add a satisfying crunch, and if you fold in sliced avocado, you get a creamy richness that makes this salad feel genuinely substantial. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of eggs, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. This is the kind of salad you bring to a summer gathering and come home with an empty bowl and three requests for the recipe.
