Strawberries are wonderful in savory recipes as well as sweet. Fresh strawberries, spinach and goat cheese come together beautifully in this simple salad. I love the idea of incorporating strawberry jam in the dressing because it adds sweetness and intensifies that strawberry flavor. If you want to turn this salad into a main course, a grilled piece of chicken would be lovely. I think you will be impressed by how well these flavors marry together.
