This is a wonderful strawberry salad with walnuts and goat cheese added for a delicious twist.

There is something about the combination of spinach with strawberries that works perfectly.

The red strawberries against the green spinach makes for a very pretty salad.

Cooking Tips

Tips:

  • Don't worry if you can't find the pomegranate molasses. Just add the same amount of crushed strawberries and a bit of sugar (about 1/2 a teaspoon). It won't taste exactly the same, but it will still be delicious.
