    Strawberry Spinach Salad with Chardonnay Vinaigrette is full of berries, candied pecans, and more! A light, flavorful dressing on a bed of spinach..

    Strawberry Spinach Salad with Chardonnay Vinaigrette is one of my favorite salads of all time. I have included the ingredients below. I make the dressing and toss it with the spinach right before serving.

    Place the coated spinach in serving bowls. Add the goat cheese or bleu cheese, candied pecans, sliced strawberries, dried cranberries and red onion.

    You can use as much or as little of each ingredient as you want. The dressing is so light and delicious. You have to give this salad a try! It's perfection.

    How to make Strawberry Spinach Salad with Chardonnay Vinaigrette

    Also, if you cannot find chardonnay vinegar you can substitute with any wine based vinegar like champagne vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or even rice vinegar for a similar effect.

    First you need to make the dressing. Combine the oil, chardonnay, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, pepper and Herbs de Provence in a small container or resealable plastic bag. Whisk or shake and mix ingredients thoroughly. Taste the dressing and adjust according to your preference. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Use all of the dressing within one week.

    When serving spoon vinaigrette over spinach and mix until spinach is lightly coated. Place spinach in serving bowl or individual bowls and add the goat or bleu cheese. Next add candied pecans, sliced strawberries, dried cranberries and red onions. Adjust amounts to accommodate taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
