Ingredients
Scale
- For the Balsamic Glaze:
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup honey or brown sugar
- For the Salad:
- 10 oz fresh baby spinach
- 3 cups strawberries, cleaned, hulled, and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup toasted pecans, some chopped
Instructions
- Make the Balsamic Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey (or brown sugar). Heat over medium heat until it begins to gently boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, or until it has thickened and reduced by half. Remove from heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool. The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon without being overly sticky.
- Prepare the Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, sliced strawberries, blueberries, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss gently to mix.
- Assemble the Salad:
- Divide the salad into individual serving bowls. Top with toasted pecans (whole and chopped), and drizzle with the balsamic glaze over the top.
- Details:
- This vibrant, nutrient-packed salad features a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and crunchy elements. The homemade balsamic glaze adds a delicious, tangy finish that enhances the fresh flavors of the salad. Ideal for a light lunch or a refreshing side dish at your next gathering.
