Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz baby spinach (fresh)
  • 3 cups strawberries (cleaned, hulled, and sliced)
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup toasted pecans
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey or brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and honey (or brown sugar). Stir gently until it simmers and reduces by half, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
  2. Toast the Pecans: Place pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Fruits: Rinse and hull strawberries; slice them just before serving. Rinse blueberries and set aside to dry.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, layer baby spinach, strawberries, blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pecans. Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze and toss gently to combine.
  5. Serve: Enjoy immediately or let sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld.
