Equipment

  • Small Saucepan
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir frequently, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes or until it's reduced by half, becoming slightly thickened and syrupy. Once achieved, remove from heat and let it cool while you prepare the salad.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the baby spinach as the base for your Strawberry Spinach Salad. Next, slice fresh strawberries into quarters and toss them in with the spinach, followed by a handful of blueberries for a burst of color and flavor. Crumble feta cheese over the top and gently toss everything together, ensuring even distribution without bruising the delicate leaves.
  3. Divide the assembled strawberry spinach salad into individual serving bowls. For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans over each bowl. Finally, drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze generously over each serving, allowing its rich flavor to meld beautifully with the salad ingredients.
