Description
A refreshing and nutritious salad combining strawberries, spinach, blueberries, and feta cheese, drizzled with a homemade balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey (or brown sugar)
- 10 oz baby spinach (fresh)
- 3 cups strawberries (cleaned and hulled, sliced)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/3 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 cup pecans (toasted, some of them chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (or brown sugar). Bring to a gentle simmer and stir occasionally. Cook until the mixture is reduced by half and thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Mix the Salad: While your dressing cools, in a large bowl, add the fresh spinach. Top it with the sliced strawberries, blueberries, feta cheese, and toasted pecans.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients without bruising the spinach.
- Serve: Enjoy your 15-Minute Strawberry Spinach Salad immediately for the freshest taste!
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for maximum flavor. Keep the dressing separate if preparing in advance.
