    spinach salad with strawberries & goat cheese

    Splurge Confession!

    I’ve shared in the past how I’m a total ‘saladforlunch-itarian’ – meaning that I eat a salad for lunch most days of the week. Well, I wanted to share my latest salad obsession and the reason I’m obsessed!

    It’s the dressing. (See photo below.)

    I can blame my mom for this one…she has turned me into a Brianna’s salad dressing fanatic, despite the fact that they are a little more expensive than the cheaper brands. They are so flavorful and go a long way on the salad, so I justify that I can ‘stretch’ this salad dressing further than I would another brand…justify, justify, justify!

    Anyways, I’m currently in love with their sweeter Blush Wine Vinaigrette (and the Real French Vinaigrette too! Sometimes I get crazy and mix them together! Living the wild salad for lunch dream here! lol)

    This particular salad is super simple and super healthful…spinach leaves (spring mix would be great too!), strawberries, goat cheese and some of the Blush Wine Vinaigrette dressing. If I had slivered almonds on hand, I’d toss those in too.

    And feta or blue cheese would be amazing as well…if goat cheese isn’t your thing.

    Strawberry Goat Cheese Spinach Salad Dressing

    The creamy goat cheese combined with the sweet vinaigrette makes for an amazing dressing for the spinach and strawberries. This is a perfect salad for lunch, or would be great as a side salad with some grilled chicken or steak!

    I’m curious and nosy and I want to know what kind of toppings do you love on your salad?

      Here is a recipe for blush vinaigrette. I think it is very comparable to the bottled

      Blush Wine Vinaigrette
      Yield: approximately 10 ounces
      Ingredients
      • 1/2 cup canola oil
      • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
      • 1/4 cup water
      • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
      • 3 tablespoons sugar
      • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
      Directions
      1. Measure all ingredients into a Mason jar. Tightly screw on lid and shake vigorously until everything is thoroughly combined. Alternatively, you may whisk the ingredients together in a medium bowl.
