Ingredients

Scale

For the Balsamic Dressing (Balsamic Glaze):

1 cup balsamic vinegar

¼ cup honey or brown sugar

For the Spinach Strawberry Salad:

10 oz baby spinach, fresh

3 cups strawberries, cleaned, hulled, and sliced

1 cup blueberries

⅓ cup Feta cheese, crumbled

1 cup pecans, toasted (some chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Balsamic Dressing (Glaze):

    • In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (or brown sugar).
    • Heat over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil.
    • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reduces by about half (approximately 10 minutes).
    • Remove from heat and pour the balsamic glaze into a heat-proof bowl to cool. The glaze will thicken further as it cools.
    • The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but not overly thick.

  2. Assemble the Salad:

    • In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach, sliced strawberries, blueberries, and crumbled Feta cheese. Toss gently to combine.
    • Divide the salad into individual serving bowls.

  3. Top and Serve:

    • Top each serving bowl with toasted pecans (both whole and chopped).
    • Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top of each salad serving and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added crunch, you can substitute or mix the pecans with other nuts like walnuts or almonds.
  • The balsamic glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
