Ingredients
For the salad
- 2 cups spinach packed
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- ¼ large red onion sliced
- 1 cup pecans halved
- feta cheese or gorgonzola cheese
For the balsamic glaze
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 Tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook balsamic vinegar and honey in a small pot over medium-high heat. Boil for about 5 minutes until it thickens. Add salt and pepper.
- Combine the spinach, strawberries, pecans, and red onion slices in a large salad bowl or on a platter. Sprinkle feta cheese, and drizzle the balsamic glaze over salad. Toss lightly and serve immediately.
Notes
- Wash the spinach leaves under cold running water and then use a salad spinner to remove any excess moisture. You can also pat it gently with a paper towel.
- Use the ripest strawberries for the sweetest flavor.
- Try swapping the feta for gorgonzola if you like blue cheese. It works so well with the other ingredients! Crumbly goat cheese is also an alternative substitute.
- If you don't have pecans, you can use walnuts, slivered almonds, or even sunflower seeds for a nut-free alternative.
- Serve salad immediately because the dressing can make the spinach wilt.
