Expert Tips

Fruits offer a host of nutrients including vitamin C to accompany their great taste. Be sure to get at least 2 to 3 servings of fruits daily.

No balsamic vinegar? Yes, you can use other vinegars; just expect a different flavor.

An Italian ingredient, balsamic vinegar is made from white Trebbiano grape juice. This vinegar's dark color and pungent flavor develops while it ages in wooden barrels. Balsamic vinegar is fat free and imparts an intense, sweet flavor to food. Use it to jazz up low-fat recipes.

Delicious! We made ours a little different by using almonds instead of walnuts and feta cheese instead of gargonzola cheese. We also used a berry vinaigrette. Will definitely make it again!

What a tasty salad!!! The strawberries went well with the spinach...we used crumbled blue cheese b/c I never tried gorgonzola and I'm kind of picky about cheese. We also left out the walnuts. I know this is something that will be made again and again!!!

Strawberries are in season and when you have so much of them, i want to use them for more than desserts. This is a very tasty and a good combination of tastes, textures and colors. Unfortunately, i used can chicken and did not have apple juice so i made my own sweet dressing which was very good. I will try it just the way it was written next time.
