Soy Free Cilantro-Lime Spinach & Strawberry Salad
This vibrant salad is a celebration of fresh, bold flavors — sweet strawberries, bright cilantro, creamy avocado, and tender baby spinach all come together in one stunning bowl. The dressing is a simple whisked blend of olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, and cumin that ties everything together with a zesty, lightly smoky finish. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from soy, so there's no label-scanning or ingredient-swapping required — just wholesome produce and pantry staples doing all the heavy lifting. Dry-roasted pepitas add a satisfying crunch and a little nutty depth that makes this feel like a complete, restaurant-worthy dish rather than a side salad afterthought. The red onion brings just enough bite to balance the sweetness of the strawberries, and the optional avocado makes it even more satisfying and filling. It comes together in minutes and is best served right away while the greens are fresh and the dressing is still bright.
