Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or dressing of choice

  • Instructions

    1. Prepare the Spinach Base: Gently wash and thoroughly dry the baby spinach. Place the clean spinach leaves into a large salad bowl, ensuring they are evenly distributed to form the base of your salad.

    2. Slice the Strawberries: Hull the fresh strawberries by removing the green tops. Slice them into bite-sized pieces, typically quarters or halves depending on their size. Add the sliced strawberries directly over the spinach in the bowl.

    3. Add the Blueberries: Carefully rinse the fresh blueberries and pat them dry. Scatter the blueberries over the spinach and strawberries, distributing them evenly for a burst of color and sweetness in every bite.

    4. Crumble in the Feta: Take your crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle it generously over the berries and spinach. The white feta will stand out beautifully against the vibrant red and blue.

    5. Add the Crunchy Nuts: Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the salad. This adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the berries and the tang of the feta.

    6. Drizzle with Dressing: Just before serving, drizzle the balsamic glaze or your chosen dressing evenly over the entire salad. Use just enough to lightly coat the ingredients without making the salad soggy.

    7. Toss and Serve: Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is well combined and coated with the dressing. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and textures.
