Recipe FAQs

Can I make Strawberry Fields Salad ahead of time?

Yes! Just prep the ingredients in advance and store them separately. Wait to slice the strawberries and add the dressing until right before serving so the greens stay crisp.

Can I swap the Strawberry Fields Salad dressing for a pre-made dressing?

The homemade dressing for the recipe is the classic choice and extremely easy to make, but a raspberry vinaigrette or a simple lemon vinaigrette also pair beautifully with the sweet strawberries.

Is this Strawberry Fields Salad kid-friendly?

My kids LOVE this salad! Let kids build their own salads with their favorite toppings like nuts, cheese, bacon, chicken, or extra fruit. It's a great way to give them ownership and get them interested in a nutritious meal.
