Gut Friendly Spinach & Strawberry Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
Fresh strawberries and baby spinach are a natural pairing, but it's the honey balsamic vinaigrette that ties everything together into something genuinely craveable. The dressing leans on apple cider vinegar, raw honey, grated garlic, and a pinch of ground ginger — ingredients that are well-loved for supporting a happy digestive system. Torn fresh mint adds a bright, cooling note that keeps every bite feeling light and clean. Thinly sliced red onion brings just enough bite without overwhelming the delicate greens. Because everything here is whole, minimally processed, and plant-forward, it's the kind of meal that feels as good going down as it tastes. It comes together in just a few minutes of whisking and tossing, making it an easy go-to when you want something nourishing without any fuss.
