Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Fresh Baby Spinach: The base of the salad. It’s tender, mild, and packed with nutrients. Lettuce or arugula works too if you have no baby spinach at hand.
  • Strawberries: Sliced and juicy! They add a pop of sweetness and color. Try blueberries for a change.
  • Avocado: Ripe and creamy, it balances the sweetness and adds healthy fats.
  • Red onion: For a bit of sharpness and crunch.
  • Toasted Almonds: For that satisfying crunch and a nutty flavor. Pecans or walnuts work too. Nut-free? Use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds instead.
  • Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Maple Syrup, Dijon Mustard, Salt & Pepper: For the dressing!
