Spinach, Strawberry & Goat Cheese Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette
I figured it would be wise to stick with strawberries since my last strawberry recipe – Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries – seemed to make a lot of people very happy 
This time I went a more healthy route. I was craving salad so I decided to make myself a drool worthy (yes, salad can be drool worthy) Spring time salad. What’s more delicious then crisp baby spinach, sweet strawberries, crumbly goat cheese, toasted almonds and tart pomegranate vinaigrette? The answer is nothing. Well, except this salad
The pomegranate vinaigrette was made by combining POM Pomegranate Juice Concentrate, olive oil, champagne vinegar, and salt and pepper. The pomegranate juice concentrate brings a nice fruity flavor to the vinaigrette that works wonderfully with the sweet strawberries in the salad.
Enjoy!!!

These yogurt waffles sound incredible!! Love the flavour!
This looks positively delectable!
Mmm those look like some tasty waffles! Perfect use for fresh berries 🙂
These waffles look fantastic. Definitely worthy of your precious strawberry haul!
I wish my day started with these! PS you need to teach me your dark photo ways + backdrops 😉
Your waffles look delicious. I just went strawberry picking and am looking for a way to eat them up. Our grocery just starting stocking Yulu yogurt so I may have to get cooking.
I’ve not heard of Yulu yogurt, but maybe it hasn’t reached Maine yet. Anyway, I had not thought of adding yogurt to waffles and it sounds like a good sub for buttermilk! Your pictures are great!
This looks like the perfect way to start the day! I’ll be the yogurt is a delicious addition to the waffles.
Keep the strawberry recipes coming! I love them! Such perfect looking waffles…
“WOW!” is the only word coming out of my mouth … out loud. I’m in LOVE!
I often have the same problem with fresh picked fruit, it seems to go bad a lot faster, makes you wonder what they’re spraying the other stuff with. These waffles look like weekend brunch perfection! Love that you used Yulu yogurt in them!
This is the perfect weekend brunch treat! The yogurt makes these waffles so moist and luscious!
Ok, I am totally making these tomorrow. If I don’t have vanilla bean pasta can I just use regular extract?

Hi Krista! Yes, vanilla extract will be fine. I only use the vanilla bean paste because I love the little flecks of vanilla bean 🙂
I think I’ve made 5 berry recipes in the past few days. They are so fresh this time of year
These look so delicious – and filled with all sorts of healthy ingredients too!
Wow, what gorgeous photos. I just got done swimming at the pool with the kiddos and am completely famished . I swear, you could hear my stomach growling in the other room when I saw that first picture of these waffles. They look divine!
I can’t get enough of fresh strawberries this time of year either, they’re just so good! Definitely need to try them in some waffles, that’s a fantastic idea!
OK, first off that first photo is stunning. Love all of the negative space! So gorgeous. I’m obsessed with berries right now too. It’s a little ridiculous. ItI feel like Violet from Willy Wonka or someing. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to dive headfirst into a plate of these waffles though.
You just made me hungry! These waffles look amazing! I know you shouldn’t wash strawberries until right before you use them. They go fast after you clean them. Not sure if you washed them or not but just thought I’d say. 🙂
These waffles look so delicious, I’ve been buying strawberries in giant containers lately so I’ll be making this soon!
These waffles look incredible…breakfast of champions for sure!
Love that you’ve added the strawberries into the waffles and not just on top! YUM! That is one beautiful stack!
These waffles look decadent, and I’m always on the hunt for a great new yogurt!
We have waffles every Sunday and I can’t wait to make these this weekend! Gorgeous!
You can continue to bring on the berry recipes, it’s summer and that’s all I want to eat! Yogurt, waffles, strawberries – it’s a perfect breakfast.
This is the perfect recipe for a huge Saturday breakfast with my family. And, it includes my two favorite things: strawberries & waffles!
Thanks for sharing & Happy Sunday, Brandy 🙂

You know whats funny? I am not much of a waffle lover but this big puffy waffles are totally calling my name! The honey greek yogurt is a game changer as most waffles don’t taste like much but those strawberries and honey…heaven!
Ahh, these look seriously amazing! I am so making these one weekend!
There’s no getting tired of strawberries…ever! Love these gorgeous waffles.
I have been addicted to strawberries this season too. I can’t stop making recipes with them! Now I want waffles, because, yum!
I am the worst at keeping fresh berries fresh…but pretty good at inhaling them nonstop. Love these waffles!
I LOVE Yulu yogurt and I’m pretty sure my family would devour these waffles.
