Ingredients

  • Balsamic Glaze:

    • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
    • ¼ cup honey or brown sugar
  • Salad:

    • 10 oz baby spinach
    • 3 cups strawberries, sliced
    • 1 cup blueberries
    • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
    • 1 cup toasted pecans (some chopped)

Instructions

  • Make the Balsamic Glaze: In a saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat until reduced by half (about 10 minutes). Let cool.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine spinach, strawberries, blueberries, and feta. Toss gently.
  • Serve: Divide into bowls, topping with toasted pecans and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Notes

  • Variations: Swap spinach for arugula, kale, or mixed greens. Add raspberries or blackberries for extra flavor.
  • Cheese Substitutes: Use goat cheese, blue cheese, or parmesan instead of feta.
  • Nut Alternatives: Try walnuts, cashews, or sunflower seeds.
  • Make it a Meal: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or boiled eggs for protein.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store nuts and dressing separately to maintain crunch.
