Turkey 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 honey-lime dressing with a hint of cumin ties everything together with a subtle warmth that keeps every bite interesting. Dry-roasted pepitas add a satisfying crunch that makes this feel like a complete, restaurant-worthy dish rather than a simple side. Every single ingredient here is naturally plant-based and poultry-free, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out. It's the kind of recipe that works beautifully as a light lunch, a dinner starter, or a crowd-pleasing dish to bring to a gathering. Best of all, it comes together in minutes with no cooking required — just whisk, toss, and serve.
