Strawberry Spinach Salad w/Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog7 Comments

I had this salad many years ago at a special dinner I attended and I have LOVED it ever since. Some of my family doesn’t really care for some of the ingredients but that doesn’t stop me as I could eat as much as I make by myself and not feel bad at all.

This is so good and it’s the perfect side for a Grilled Steak with Gorgonzola pasta on Valentine’s Day or a special meal! It would probably be amazing if you topped it with some grilled chicken as well!

(April 26th is National Pretzel Day, in case you were wondering!)

Best Pork Loin

I needed a quick recipe to throw together the other day and I happened upon this recipe HERE. I was totally exhausted after working so long in the new pantry and I really didn’t want to fuss with a lot of ingredients so this was perfect! I did make a couple of changes to keep this more keto-friendly and it was delicious!

We served this with some mashed turnips, steamed broccoli, and some black-eyed peas that had been cooking on the stove. The girls made some cornbread muffins and I made some keto cornbread to go with it.
