Macadamia Free Spinach & Strawberry Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
Fresh strawberries and baby spinach are a classic pairing, but the torn mint leaves and paper-thin red onion here take the combination somewhere genuinely exciting. The honey balsamic vinaigrette pulls everything together — sweet, tangy, and just a little warm from the grated garlic and ground ginger. Every ingredient in this salad is straightforward and easy to source, so there's no hunting through specialty aisles or squinting at labels. Salads dressed with nuts can be tricky to navigate at restaurants or even from store-bought kits, but this one keeps things clean and simple without sacrificing any of the texture or flavor you'd expect. Whisk the dressing, toss, and serve immediately — the whole thing comes together in minutes and looks stunning on the table.
