How to Make Spinach And Fruit Salsa Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1 cup diced apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended), and 1/4 teaspoon ascorbic acid (optional, to prevent browning).
  2. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1-2 finely minced jalapeno peppers (adjust to your spice preference). Mix well.
  3. Let the fruit mixture sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. In a large bowl, place 5 cups fresh spinach. Add the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine.
  5. Drizzle with Chef Marie's Basil Garlic Citrus Vinaigrette (or your favorite citrus vinaigrette) to taste. Serve immediately on chilled plates.
