Imagine my delight when I went to the store and within my $35/wk budget I was able to include some large and amazingly ripe strawberries for just $2.50.

Already enjoying Avocado Toast and I think Spinach is a must for the week, I was eager to see that I could stretch these ingredients into a lovely salad.

What you’ll need

• Fresh baby spinach
• Strawberries
• Avocado
• Gorgonzola or blue cheese (optional)
• Almonds (Leftovers are Great for snacking)
• Red onion
• Croutons (optional)
• Salt and Pepper
• Balsamic Vinaigrette -or- Your favorite dressing

 

Stretch Tip – This is a great way to stretch out your strawberries when they are in season! You don’t have to limit strawberries to just dessert. They also work on top of cereal & in smoothies
