Why This Salad Stands Out
What makes this salad unique is the harmonious blend of sweet, savory, and tangy notes. The strawberries provide natural sweetness, while the basil brings an aromatic flavor that pairs perfectly with the subtle bitterness of baby spinach. The toasted pine nuts add a crunch, making every bite a delightful experience.
