Spinach and Strawberry Salad recipe


  • Author: Sophia

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (or goat cheese for a different flavor profile)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and Dry the Spinach Leaves

    • Start by thoroughly rinsing the spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a salad spinner or pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure they’re completely dry.

  2. Prepare the Ingredients

    • Place the fresh spinach leaves in a large salad bowl.
    • Add the sliced strawberries, chopped walnuts (or sunflower seeds), and crumbled feta cheese (or goat cheese) to the bowl.

  3. Make the Dressing

    • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Combine the Salad

    • Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to combine all the elements, ensuring the dressing coats the spinach and toppings evenly.

  5. Serve and Enjoy

    • Transfer the salad to serving plates or a large serving bowl. Serve immediately to enjoy at its freshest and most flavorful.
