Servings: 2
Ingredients
Strawberry Spinach Salad
- 5 - 8 ounces fresh baby spinach or greens of choice.
- 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
- 1/4 cup goat cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped *see notes
Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey optional
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make a bed of spinach on your plate or in a bowl. Add the sliced strawberries, then sprinkle with the crumbled goat cheese and chopped walnuts.
- In a bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until the salt is dissolved. Whisk in the olive oil until well blended. Add 1 teaspoon of honey to the mix if desired. This recipe will yield about 2 servings of dressing. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad, or use the dressing of your choice. (See notes.)
Notes
- You can easily make a larger batch of dressing and refrigerate the extra dressing in an airtight container. For variety, try using my Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe or this Mimosa Vinaigrette.
- You can use these Italian Herb Walnuts or toss in some Maple Glazed Pecans or French Toasted Almonds as an alternative or in addition to the walnuts. They add flavor and crunch!
