I know what you are thinking, that March is not strawberry season in Canada and you are correct. I truly support our Farmer’s Markets all season long, but right now the snow is preventing them from producing much for sale!
However, this is the height of the strawberry season in Florida and our local grocery store brought them in on sale as well as fresh bunches of spinach.
This Strawberry Spinach Salad with a poppy seed dressing is lovely during anyone’s strawberry season. It has a very fresh taste to it and complements many meals.
Enjoy!
