Ingredients
  

  • 4 packed cups (120g / 4.2 oz) fresh spinach leaves
  • 8 medium (100g / 3.5 oz) strawberries, sliced
  • 6 slices (60g / 2.12 oz) bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
  • ½ cup (75g / 2.65 oz) crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup (40g / 1.41 oz) toasted walnuts
  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup (60ml / 2 fl oz) Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette, for serving
  • Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. This simple step dramatically enhances their flavor and crunch.
  • Transform this salad into a hearty main course by adding grilled chicken, blackened salmon, or even a scoop of quinoa.
  • For the best results, add the vinaigrette just before serving to prevent the spinach from becoming wilted and soggy.
  • Feel free to swap the feta for goat cheese or blue cheese, and the walnuts for pecans or slivered almonds for a different flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. In a large serving bowl, combine the fresh spinach, sliced strawberries, chopped bacon, crumbled feta, toasted walnuts, and thinly sliced red onion.
  3. Just before serving, drizzle with your desired amount of Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette.
  4. Gently toss the salad until all are lightly coated with the dressing.
  5. Serve immediately for the best texture.
