The main ingredients of this immune system salad are strawberries, spinach and almonds are among the top foods that boost the immune system, so the combination of the three of them make a perfect cocktail to enjoy all their benefits.
A few weeks ago I published another immune system salad hat I have fallen in love with, is my Vit C Booster Salad, which is also packed with Vit C loaded ingredients like oranges, berries and avocado, in case you are searching for healthy immune booster meals.

200 gr fresh spinach
400 gr strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup (50-100 gr) almonds
1/4 red onion, finely sliced
Dressing
1/4 cup (60 ml) balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp (30 ml) maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper to taste
Directions
- Toast the almonds first. Preheat the oven to 180C and spread your almonds on a lined baking tray. Bake for about 10 min just until lightly toasted. Let them cool and chop.
- Slice the onions thinly, the strawberries the way you want and with your hands roughly break the spinach leaves into bite size pieces.
- Prepare the dressing: mix all the ingredients in a measuring cup or mason jar and shake very well.
- Assemble the salad: Add the spinach to a large serving bowl, then the strawberries, onion and drizzle with the dressing. Do not put too much or it will become soggy. Top with the toasted almonds and enjoy!

Notes
- By the way…
- *For a nut-free version just leave the almonds out and replace them with pepitas, sunflower or pumpkin seeds to get a crunchy salad.
