Spinach Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing is an irresistible flavor combination of fresh baby spinach, sweet strawberries, creamy goat cheese, sliced avocados and a homemade poppy seed dressing.

I’m SO in love with this Spinach Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad! The fresh flavor combination in this salad is amazing. And I’ve also added avocados, which makes it even better!

I’m not sure how many times I have made this salad over the summer, but who’s counting? I can’t get enough of it and it’s so flavorful and healthy.

Not only is this recipe great for lunch, but you can bring it to a picnic or a barbecue. Everyone loves it!
