Oh my...this is simply fabulous! I've been making several recipes from this site for quite a few years, but this is the first I've reviewed. As others suggested, I added almonds and red onion. It even got a "pretty good" from my 11-year-old that really doesn't care for any type of salad. Good thing I saved a small amount of spinach because I might have to make myself a salad for lunch tomorrow!

Very tasty! I gave this a 4 star only because I hadn't read the previous reviews and used 1/2 olive oil & 1/2 vegetable oil. I did agree that it was a bit too much oil so next time, I'll only use 1/2 the oil called for & just use olive. I also used 1/2 sugar & 1/2 Splenda. Not worried about the Aspartame as Splenda doesn't contain any! With 1/2 the oil next time, it'll be a 5 star recipe!

Made this last night, and it was really different and fresh kind of dressing. My 20 month old daughter and husband loved it. Will make it again. Although I had to do with the ingredients I had home. Instead of the sugar, I added 4 very ripe strawberries into the blended mix, and only added 1/2 tsp of sugar (next time will do without it). I didn't have white wine vinegar, so I used the juice of one lime. Also I used 1/4 tsp salt. Finally, I used 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil. for crunch I used cashews, and for more omega 3 added a whole avocado (cut into cubes). This salad tasted fresh, healthy and delish! Thanks Mona for posting!

Waaaaaaaay too much oil in this dressing. Otherwise an okay recipe. Strawberries and spinach always go good together. Cut the oil back to about 2 or 3 TBLS or at the very most 1/4 cup. You will find you have plenty of dressing.

I wanted to give this salad 3 stars, because there is something "off" that I cannot figure out yet, however the fact that it sort of got to me to start liking spinach makes it 4 star worthy. I did cut the oil by half, and the second time I tried it with toasted almonds and feta (which was really good). However, I do need to experiment with the dressing a little more. Definitely a good recipe worth trying, especially for anyone who does not like spinach!!!!

The dressing was way too sweet. I threw the original out and made new dressing with 1/2 as much sugar. It was delicious. I also added feta and toasted pecans to the salad. Will have again soon as the local strawberries are unbelievably good.
