This salad is a favorite with my kids and I have often been asked to bring again to potlucks. Feel free to change up some of the ingredients to match your tastes or what you have on hand.

One cup of strawberries has 113% of your DRI of vitamin C and 28% RDI of manganese. Spinach is rich in water and fat-soluble vitamins and minerals in addition to many other phytonutrients. It is also an important source of folate. One cup of spinach has 987% RDI of vitamin K, 105% RDI of vitamin A and the list continues. It is a great choice for many salads and pairs well with fruits.

½ of a red onion, chopped
