Print Recipe

A delicious and healthy spinach salad featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, toasted pecans, feta cheese, and a homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Perfect for lunch, summer dinners, or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz baby spinach
  • 5 oz strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3 oz blueberries (about ½ cup)
  • 2 oz pecans, halved or chopped and toasted
  • 1½ oz sliced red onion (about ¼ medium onion)
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden and fragrant; set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper in a small bowl or shake in a mason jar.
  3. Drain sliced red onion if soaked. In a large bowl, combine baby spinach, sliced strawberries, blueberries, toasted pecans, feta cheese, and red onion.
  4. Drizzle with ⅔ of the dressing and toss to coat. Add more dressing as needed and serve immediately.

Notes

Start with less dressing and add more to taste to avoid sogginess. For best flavor, use fresh, ripe berries. Toast pecans just before assembling for maximum crunch.
