Strawberry-Spinach Salad

I am very excited about this post, because today I share one of my favorite recipes with you! Did you know that strawberries, not oranges, are the best fruit source for vitamin C? They are literally loaded with it. Also, strawberries are amazing for the cardiovascular system. Spinach is an excellent source of iron, essential for blood health. It also is a great source of plant-based protein, which makes this salad satisfying, simple, and refreshing. It will also be a hit on any summer party or potluck. Be sure to make enough of this because most likely everyone will love it.
