Spinach & Strawberry Salad
It’s here for the summer! Alas, it’s still only April, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a taste of something as fresh and vibrant as summer.
STRAWBERRY SALAD
This salad is super simple, really clean and refreshing and the ingredients will give you a super shot of vitamins. Try pairing this salad with our Rock Creek Strawberry Rhubarb Cider.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups spinach
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 100g goat cheese
- 1 cup pecans, toasted*
For the dressing:**
- 1 tbs strawberry balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbs olive oil
*To toast the pecans, set your oven to broil. Layer pecans onto a non-stick baking sheet and broil for a minute per side or until the pecans start to darken.
**If you cannot find strawberry balsamic vinegar, substitute the dressing for strawberry or balsamic vinaigrette
INSTRUCTIONS
Layer the spinach, strawberries and pecans in a large bowl. Crumble the goat cheese on top. In a small bowl whisk together the oil and vinegar for the dressing. Drizzle the mixture over the salad and serve immediately.
Serves 2-4.
