Spinach Strawberry Salad

FreshEasyPrep 15 minCook 0 minServes 4

Sweet strawberries, baby spinach, feta and candied pecans under a balsamic vinaigrette — the spring salad that shows up at every potluck for a reason.

Ingredients

6 cup baby spinach
2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup candied pecans or toasted pecans, chopped
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp kosher salt

Steps

Whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon and salt into a vinaigrette.
Combine the spinach, strawberries, feta, pecans and red onion in a large bowl.
Drizzle with dressing just before serving and toss gently so the berries stay intact.

Serve with: grilled chicken or salmon, or as a bright side to roast pork.

Dress at the last minute: spinach wilts fast, and this salad is at its best in the first 10 minutes after dressing.
