This spinach salad is colorful and perfect for summertime. The homemade poppyseed dressing is delicious, easy and frugal, but if you want to take a short cut try Brianna’s Poppyseed dressing. Brianna’s dressing is delicious but pricey, so The Budget Diet way is homemade!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2½ tablespoons sugar
- 1½ teaspoons white vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons poppyseeds
- 1 bag baby spinach
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 peach, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup almonds, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together mayonnaise, milk, sugar, white vinegar and poppyseeds to make the dressing.
- Toss together spinach, strawberries, peaches and almonds with the dressing about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Thanks to my friend Unna for the dressing recipe!

Yum – I love spinach and strawberry salad!
I just recently discovered using apple cider vinegar with mayo to give a salad a sweeter taste. I wonder what the difference in taste is in the salad between apple cider and white vinegar?
Looks like heaven wrapped in green!
That’s how I like my salad!!!
Let me know if you try it with apple cider vinegar. You may want to use a bit less sugar.
And the peaches and almonds are like the icing on the cake!
Yum, that sounds delicious!
If you get a chance to make it, please come back and rate it! Thanks!
Holy cow, that looks fantastic. Can something really be healthy AND good? lol
Well…the dressing might not be that good for you, but it makes the salad!
