When fresh in-season strawberries begin to hit the farmer's market, we can't wait to make this salad. The tanginess of the pickled beets balances perfectly with the sweetness of the fresh ripe strawberries. While the tartness and earthy flavor of goat cheese brings out the fresh garden flavor of the baby spinach. The rye crouton's give it just the right amount of crunch.

This salad can be easily be packed up and assembled for a picnic in the park or your next family gathering, keeping everything as fresh as it tastes.
