SPINACH, STRAWBERRY AND IBERICO HAM SALAD

This is a great easy summer salad that is a perfect addition to any summer celebration, and its looks pretty fancy and absolutely delicious.

Vitamin C and other organic acids in fruits like strawberries boost the absorption rate of iron contained in spinach, so this is a perfect pairing for a healthy and nutritional salad.

Iron is an important mineral that is required for healthy blood, oxygen distribution throughout the body, and energy production.

We complete our summer salad with feta cheese with a strong flavor and iberico ham with extraordinary nutritional qualities.
