Strawberry Spinach Salad Recipe

Strawberry Spinach Salad

10 oz. bag of baby spinach
2 cups sliced or quartered strawberries
1/4 red onion, sliced thin
1/3 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
4 oz. crumbled feta or blue cheese
Balsamic Vinaigrette (recipe follows)

Combine the spinach, strawberries, onion and toasted nuts in a salad bowl. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese. Serve with the dressing.
Note:
Nuts may be toasted in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until they're golden brown.
To toast in the oven, spread nuts on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 T honey
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup olive oil

Beat the vinegar in a bowl with the honey, garlic, salt and pepper until salt dissolves. Then beat in the oil by droplets, whisking constantly. (Or place all the ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake to combine). Taste and adjust the seasonings.
