great and different salad even the kids enjoyed. It taste great and is good for you. Way to go Kraft! We sometimes throw a bit of fruit, (grapes, pinapple, apple) just to shake it up a bit.

VERY tasty salad. I subsituted the Catalina dressing for Kraft Creamy Poppyseed dressing... My whole family loved it and i would definately make it again and again!

I served this to my ladies' lunch bunch. All loved it. I varied it by adding mushrooms. I also put bacon bits in the Cataline dressing and heated it. Made a wonderful warm bacon dressing.

This was a great salad. If the strawberries are out of season, I tried Pineapple pieces. Plus I added fresh sliced mushroons. My family really loved it and it will be a regular at our table.

The toasted almonds really make this recipe taste special.

The second time I made this, I sprinkled a bit of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on as well. It's a nice, light salad for spring.

We enjoy the sweeter Creamy Poppyseed Dressing. Also, orange slices (either fresh or canned mandarin) are good instead of strawberries.

Taste the flavors of Spring in this colorful and crunchy salad. Not only are the strawberries rich in vitamin C, but the spinach is also an excellent source of vitamin A.
