Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups baby spinach washed and dried
  • 1 ½ cups strawberries sliced
  • ½ cup red onion thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped

For the dressing:

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss the spinach, sliced strawberries, and red onion together. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped nuts over the salad.
  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Lightly toasting the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes enhances their flavor and adds extra crunch.
  • If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes before adding them to the salad.
  • Tossing the salad with the dressing right before serving keeps the spinach fresh and prevents wilting.
  • Swap feta for goat cheese, walnuts for pecans, or add extras like avocado or grilled chicken for a heartier meal.
  • This spinach strawberry salad is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to one day.
