This salad is fantastic! I added a little more lemon zest because I like my dressings really lemony. I also used safflower oil instead of canola oil, and it was fine. Also, I put the dressing on about 3 hours before I plan to serve it, I think that once the spinach wilts a little bit the salad becomes even better & the flavors are more blended. The strawberries retain their flavor and the cucumbers remain crisp. Yum yum, will definitely make this many times this summer.

I have made this weekly since trying the recipe for the first time. It is requested often! The dressing is my favorite part! I followed the directions exactly and have added feta a couple times if I had it. Thank you for posting this recipe!

Y U M !!! I've had this type of salad before, but with a store bought dressing. This dressing was over the top amazing! I will definitely make this again. (I did reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup, and think I might reduce it again next time around)Red onion was the only ingredient I didn't have on hand so I substituted celery for it and it turned out wonderfully.

I really enjoyed this salad, I scaled it down for one. It was really tasty great flavor and textures. I did use less sugar, based on personal preference only. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will make again. Made for What's on the Menu? tag game.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
