I love serving fresh fruit and vegetable salads during the spring and summer months. This salad is not only delicious, but it is truly a colorful work of art. I love the bright beautiful rainbow of colors in the fresh bright green spinach, red strawberries, and bright blueberries. This salad serves 8 at approximately 150 calories per serving, not including the vinaigrette dressing. The dressing has about 88 calories per Tablespoon.
