Strawberry and Spinach Salad:

Strawberries are another fruit with high water content. Spinach, or palak as we know it, gives your body iron and other essential nutrients. Just combine fresh spinach leaves with sliced strawberries. For extra flavour and healthy fats, you can sprinkle some almonds or pumpkin seeds on top.
