Summertime Family Favorite : Strawberry Romaine Salad
Strawberry Romaine Salad is a fresh summer salad that is bright, colourful and so very simple to make
Strawberry Romaine Salad
When it comes to salads, my family will never give up our frequent and all-time favourite – Caesar salad.
Yet when summer hits, we all crave another delicious salad made with fresh strawberries! This time of year is perfect for buying strawberries – they are ripe and usually comes at such a low cost.
Here is our favourite strawberry summer salad {say that 5 times real fast!}
It helps if you add all the dressing ingredients to a jar and then shake to mix. As well, I also add some Spinach Leaves to my salad {this and all other salads, actually}.
It gives salads that extra nutritional punch and usually no one notices the spinach anyway. Funny though, my husband just realized that I add spinach to all my salads – after almost 10 years of marriage!
This Strawberry Romaine Salad is bright, colourful and has that sweet flavour that only fresh strawberries can provide. It’s also so fast to make, nice for those days when you are short of prep time. This recipe has made its way into my ‘favourites’ section of my recipe box.
It’s favourable to try a recipe with in-season fruits and vegetables – you can add variety to your meals and stay within budget!

I make similar to that but use spinach, and I throw in dried cranberries, and poppyseed dressing, but only Renee’s drssing tried others but didn’t like them. And instead so using croutons I used the fried breaded onions. So good
I love strawberries and salad…I have printed this off to try….Looks yummy!!
This looks great, thanks for the recipe. Will definitely be trying it!
I have been eating a lot of salads this year because I am trying to lose some weight. But I am so tired of eating salads, now this one peaked my interest and taste buds so I am going to make it for lunch, I happen to have some local strawberries in the fridge…thanks for sharing this.
I just picked some strawberries and lettuce, though not romain but I think I will improvise and make this. Thanks for sharing!
Looks yummy and very summery… We make a similar one, adding a bit of goat cheese and pecans and it is heavy enough for a meal!
Healthy and simple and an attractive looking meal
Made this for dinner tonight, very good! Will definitely be making it again.
Awesome to hear!
