Spinach and Strawberry Salad



Strawberries make an excellent addition to salad!   This is one of our favourite summer salads.


Top your spinach (or you can use any time of salad greens) with sliced strawberries, avocado, crumbled feta and candied nuts.  Another delicious addition to this salad was some fresh basil mixed in with the spinach.   

Balsamic Vinaigrette 

In a mason jar combine
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinager
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
Whisk or shake well until all the ingredients are combined and store in the fridge until you are ready to enjoy. 


To candy nuts
Turn our pan to medium heat.  When the pan is hot add chopped pecans and any other nuts you want in your mixture.  Once they are heated and warm add 1-2 tbsp of maple syrup to your pan and remove from heat.  Pour your nut mixture onto parchment paper and allow to cool.  This mixture can be made in large batches and stored in an air tight container.
