This Strawberry Spinach Salad recipe is one of my favorite salads! It is topped with a raspberry vinaigrette made with fresh raspberries.

I enjoy this Strawberry Spinach Salad alone for lunch or as a side dish for dinner. It is also very easy to make and since spinach is hardier than other greens it can be made an hour or two ahead of a party without worrying about wilting.

I have also discovered that my kids are much more likely to eat spinach if I mix it with strawberries and top it with raspberry dressing! Funny how that works.

I have included a recipe for Fresh Raspberry Vinaigrette as well, but I won’t tell anybody if you decide to go with a bottled raspberry dressing on a busy night.

    Steady Plodder – It is gf if you use apple cider vinegar and use a gf mustard (the vinegar being the problem in many mustards too). If you have ground mustard in your cupboard, you could replace the dijon mustard with 1 teaspoon ground mustard.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
