Berry Salad with Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

By Peggie

Ingredients

• Dressing:
• 5 ozs baby spinach leaves
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 sweet apple, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
• 1 cup candied walnuts, chopped
• 1 cup strawberries
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
• 1 Tbsp. honey
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• Garnish:
• Feta cheese

Preparation

Step 1

For the dressing, push a straw through the strawberries from the tip to the green top to remove the hull. (Or you can cut it off with a knife!)
Add the rest of the dressing ingredients, and blend until smooth. Refrigerate.
Cut strawberries, apple, and onion into slices.
Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl, drizzle with desired amount of dressing and toss to coat. (Spinach wilts easily, don’t add dressing until ready to eat!)
Sprinkle feta cheese on top and serve.
Enjoy!
