Description
A refreshing salad featuring fresh spinach, juicy strawberries, crunchy pecans, and a tangy balsamic vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the fresh spinach, sliced strawberries, toasted pecans, and red onion. Use your hands or salad tongs for a gentle mix, ensuring the ingredients blend without bruising the spinach.
- If using, add the crumbled feta cheese, sprinkling it evenly to ensure every bite could potentially be blessed with that creamy goodness.
- Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette. A little goes a long way—start with about half and toss gently to coat the salad without overwhelming it.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Taste a leaf or a piece of fruit; adjust as needed, adding a little more balsamic if preferred.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! The salad tastes best fresh, but you can always prepare your ingredients ahead of time and assemble just before serving.
Notes
For best results, enjoy immediately. Store components separately for freshness.
