Ingredients
  

Dressing
  • 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar Can substitute with red wine or apple cider vinegar for a twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Brown Sugar Maple syrup works well for a vegan-friendly option.
Salad
  • 5 cups Baby Spinach Mixed greens or arugula can be used for a different touch.
  • 2 cups Strawberries Feel free to swap in seasonal berries or diced apples.

  • 1 cup Feta Cheese Goat cheese is a great alternative, or skip for a dairy-free salad.

Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • large mixing bowl
  • serving bowls

Method
 

Prepare the Dressing
  1. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll know it's ready when it thickens slightly and coats the back of your spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool in a heat-proof bowl while you assemble the salad.
Assemble the Salad
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add fresh baby spinach, sliced strawberries, and blueberries, creating a colorful base for your strawberry spinach salad. Crumble feta cheese on top for a creamy contrast. Gently toss the ingredients together, being careful not to bruise the fruit, so the vibrant colors and fresh flavors stay intact.
Serve the Salad
  1. Divide the freshly tossed salad into individual serving bowls. Drizzle the cooled balsamic dressing generously over each serving, allowing it to enhance the flavors beautifully. For an extra crunch, sprinkle toasted pecans on top.
Final Touches
  1. If desired, garnish with a few extra slices of strawberry or a sprinkle of feta for visual appeal. Serve immediately and delight in the crunchy and vibrant flavors that make this strawberry spinach salad a perfect addition to any meal.

Notes

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the balsamic dressing separate until ready to serve to avoid sogginess. It's not recommended to freeze this salad due to the texture changes of fresh ingredients.
