Spinach Strawberry Salad!

Spinach Strawberry Salad


To make this salad in a jar,  put each ingredient into jar in this order:

Ingredients:

Strawberry-Lime Vinaigrette (see below)
Cooked Quinoa
Sliced Strawberries
Unsalted Sunflower Seeds
Crumbled Feta Cheese
Baby Spinach

Dressing:
2 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp strawberry preserves
1 T freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tsp mustard
1 T white wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:


  • Layer the above ingredients into a mason jar using the amount that would fit your needs. 
  • Keep chilled until ready to eat.
  • Give the jar a shake before emptying onto a plate.


This salad is packed with fiber, protein, phytonutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and flavonoids which protect from free radicals.  These act as anti-oxidants which makes it heart healthy. 

Enjoy!

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
