Recipe Notes
I mentioned that spinach needs to soak in cold tap water to help loosen up the sand from the leaves. Then it can be rinsed and allowed to drain.
Also mentioned above is that the strawberries will need to be hulled (have the stems removed),
To de-stem or hull the strawberries use a strawberry huller to scoop the hull from the strawberry. Alternatively, you can push a straw through the stem to push it out.
