The base of this salad is superstar spinach which is packed with vitamin A, C, K iron, fiber and more folic acid than most other salad greens. Folic acid helps convert the foods you eat into energy and repairs red blood cells. Spinach with strawberries and feta cheese combine for a refreshing and flavorful warm weather salad. Studies have found that large amounts of the B vitamin, folate, reduce the risk of getting colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers. It appears to halt DNA changes that trigger runaway cell growth, the main trait of cancer.
