Ingredients

Balsamic Berry Spinach Salad

  • 5 ounces spring greens mix
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans toasted
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup (0.25 oz) loosely-packed julienned fresh basil
  • half of a small red onion thinly sliced

Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Make the vinaigrette. Whisk all of the vinaigrette ingredients together in a mixing cup (or shake in a mason jar) until emulsified.
  • Assemble the salad. Combine the greens, strawberries, blueberries, pecans, feta and onion in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle evenly with the vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve. Serve immediately, garnished with extra feta and a twist of freshly-ground black pepper if desired, and enjoy!
