Artificial Food Coloring Free Spinach & Strawberry Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
Bright, fresh, and bursting with color that comes entirely from nature, this spinach and strawberry salad is the kind of dish that makes you feel good just looking at it. Sliced ripe strawberries bring a juicy sweetness that plays beautifully against the earthy baby spinach, while thin ribbons of red onion and torn fresh mint add a little sharpness and herbal lift. The honey balsamic vinaigrette — built from olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, grated garlic, and a hint of ground ginger — comes together in minutes and ties every element of the bowl together. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so you can be completely confident there are no synthetic dyes hiding in the dressing or lurking in a pre-made mix. That vibrant pink-and-green palette is 100% strawberries and spinach doing their thing. It's an effortless salad that works as a light lunch, a stunning starter, or a side dish that steals the show at any table.
