FAQ
Do you cut the stems of spinach?
If you're not using baby spinach leaves to assemble this salad, we suggest that you cut the stems and only use the leaves.
Stems are edible, but they are a bit tough and bitter, so it is better to leave them out.
How long will spinach salad keep?
Spinach and strawberries wilt very fast. We suggest that you make this salad on the same day as you plan to eat it.
You can make a few hours before to save you time. In this case, store in the fridge apart from the dressing until serving.
Tips for making this recipe
- Use extra virgin olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is healthier and tastes better than regular olive oil.
- When making ahead: Store the dressing in a different container and mix with the salad only when serving.
- Prevent the avocado from turning brown: If you're making this salad ahead, brush the avocado with lemon juice to prevent it from turning brown.
