    Balsamic Strawberry Spinach Salad

    Published: Jul 14, 2021 · Modified: Aug 6, 2021 by Aqueena · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

    Remember when kids would say ZOMFG I still don't know what that stands for but I want to shout it when I eat this Strawberry Spinach Salad. It's a party of all my favourite things in a dish. We have Pecans (God's gift to the nut world), Red Onions, STRAWBERRIES, Spinach, and Feta. The dressing is super simple to whip up with pantry staples. Looking for another fun salad? Try this Chorizo Salad next!

    A few notes on the ingredients that make up this simple Strawberry Spinach Salad:

    Balsamic - Any Balsamic Vinegar will do. If you are lucky enough to come across some strawberry balsamic vinegar it goes wonderully in this recipe.

    Strawberries - Wash in vinegar and water and then dry off and store in the refrigerator with paper towel. It is best to keep their tops on until right before consumption.

    Feta - If you find feta too salty, rinse it under water before eating to wash away some of the brine.
