Spinach and Strawberry Salad with Gouda

If you're looking for a fresh, flavorful salad (or a dressing that goes with almost everything), I recommend this light summery delight.

I've taken this salad to parties and picnics and it's perfect...just put the dressing in a squirt bottle so it's easy to shake up and doesn't wilt the spinach.
