Ingredients
  

  • 1 10oz pkg Baby Spinach fresh
  • 1 quart Strawberries fresh, sliced
  • ½ cup Goat Cheese crumbled
  • 2 ounces pine nuts about ½ cup
  • 4 tablespoon Olive Oil divided
  • 1 Lime about 3 tablespoon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin

Instructions
 

Salad

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
  • Add the pine nuts and stir for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Transfer pine nuts onto a paper towel and let cool.
  • Place spinach into a medium bowl or onto serving plates. Top with strawberries, goat cheese, and pine nuts.

Dressing

  • Squeeze the juice out of 1 lime and add to a small container with lid.
  • Add 3 tablespoon olive oil and spices. Shake well and then drizzle over the salad.

Notes

  • I prefer to use a mild flavored olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil tends to over power the taste of the lime juice.
  • You may substitute feta cheese if you prefer.
  • Add the dressing just prior to serving to keep the spinach fresh.
Enjoy!
