Great flavors. I lightly toasted the almonds and sesame seeds for added flavor. I also skipped the splenda. - 5/19/08

I use a non-fat raspberry vinagrette dressing for a much lower fat count and sometime swap out almonds for pine nuts or I crumble in a low-fat feta cheese. Yum! - 4/16/08

I cut down the olive oil to 2 T and use balsamic vinegar. I also thinly slice red onion rings instead of the chopped onion. Some fat is good fat. - 4/16/08

Love this salad. I used bottled fat free poppy seed dressing for ease of use. It makes a great salad. Sometimes, I add chicken or other fruit, or even salmon, but it is delicious - 4/16/08

I make this but use a dressing made of 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp old fashioned/whole grain mustard. Yummy! - 4/16/08

I have made this recipe many times,I usually use low cal poppy seed dressing , or a low cal raspberry vinegarette, but I add in CANDIED almonds, and some cubed Havarti cheese. If I don't have fresh strawberries, I use canned mandarin oranges...YUMMY! - 4/16/08

i love fruits like apples, strawberries and oranges on my salad...and the strawberry/spinach combo sounds good. but why add all that FAT to something healthy. a 1/4 of olive oil?! - 4/16/08

I LOVE this salad, but I usually skip the oil and lemon and just use plain balsamic vinegar (with the sugar sub and poppy seeds and all). - 4/16/08
