Print Recipe

A healthy, vibrant, and easy-to-make salad that combines fresh berries, spinach, and tangy feta cheese with toasted pecans and a balsamic dressing. Perfect for weeknight dinners, potlucks, and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups baby spinach, washed and dried
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans, halved or chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. In a large salad bowl, add the baby spinach and gently layer on the sliced strawberries, blueberries, toasted pecans, and crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat everything without smashing the berries.
  5. Serve immediately while the greens are fresh and the pecans are still crunchy.

Notes

Start with two-thirds of the dressing and add more as needed based on preference. For extra flavor, try using strawberry balsamic vinegar. The salad can be assembled without dressing ahead of time and dressed just before serving.
