Strawberry and Chicken Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

March 21, 2016 by Katie

This strawberry spinach salad is tossed with shredded chicken and toasted almonds—plus sweet and tangy poppy seed dressing—for an exciting and refreshing mix of flavors.

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppyseed Dressing

In honor of today being the second day of spring…

I’m sharing a fresh and sweet salad recipe! I’ve actually wanted to share this recipe for over a year, but 1. I don’t make it nearly enough and 2. I couldn’t find the dressing recipe so I had to re-figure it out. This is seriously one of my favorite salad combinations because of two ingredients: strawberries and sweet poppy seed dressing. Add in some chicken and spinach, and you’ve got it down!

My dad used to make something like this when I was younger, and I think that’s what triggered my love for spinach. It’s such a pretty and sweet salad. Even the picky eater I was couldn’t resist it!

The homemade dressing is where the magic’s at. It’s so simple, and I might have to keep this on hand at all times now. I poured it into a little mason jar I had, which made it super convenient to shake. As they say, “Separation is natural,” so you’ll definitely have to mix this up before you add it to your salad.

Homemade Poppyseed Dressing

The dressing is pretty sweet and tangy on its own, but when it’s mixed in the salad, it’s the perfect complement to the other flavors. I absolutely love it on this salad, though I’m learning it’s great with a lot of other combos as well. Check out the recipe below for how to make my favorite type of spinach salad!
