Instructions

Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the walnut pieces to the DRY skillet and cook, stirring often, until golden brown. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Place the spinach, strawberries, cooled walnuts, and Parmesan cheese shavings in a bowl.
Combine the olive oil (or canola oil) with the balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste in a small container, whisking until well combined. Taste and add sugar if it's too tangy.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, then toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
Side Note: My balsamic vinegar is VERY sweet, so I didn't add any sugar, but if your balsamic vinegar is tangy and not sweet, you may want to add a bit of sugar to the vinaigrette.
