- 1 cup fresh sliced strawberries 1/2 pound
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ½ cup roasted pecans
- 2 ounces blue cheese or feta
- 4 Tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add the spinach leaves, sliced strawberries, and sliced red onion. Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinaigrette and toss.5 ounces raw baby spinach, 1 cup fresh sliced strawberries, 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
- Add pecans and cheese and gently toss.1/2 cup roasted pecans, 2 ounces blue cheese
- Serve with remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette added according to your tastes.
Notes
- I bought roasted, salted pecans from the snack aisle at the grocery store. However, you can buy raw pecans in the baking aisle and toast them yourself. Bake in the oven at 350F for 6-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, or toast in a dry skillet 3-7 minutes, shaking the pan frequently.
- I like the bite of blue cheese, but if you’re not a fan, feta cheese works beautifully in this salad.
