Spring Greens and Strawberry Salad

In-Season Spring Recipes

The unique tastes of spinach, watercress, and arugula combine perfectly in this salad. Tender and mild, the flavor profile of baby spinach pairs with the peppery crispness of watercress and arugula to stimulate the taste buds and aid in digestion, while delivering an incredible serving of vitamins and minerals to support the body through the transitioning of seasons. Homegrown strawberries (a treat in any dish) bring a wonderful sweet tartness to the mix. This bold, creamy dressing complements all of it just right.
