Strawberry Spinach Salad

Strawberry Spinach Salad

This strawberry spinach salad is a great way to get kids to eat spinach! Someone brought this salad to a potluck dinner, and I had to have the recipe! Since then, I've made it many times and I've been asked for the recipe every time I take it somewhere.
