Strawberry Spinach Salad

Okay - so given I had a bunch of baby spinach left over courtesy of one of my New Year's Party recipes, I thought I'd try a quick spinach salad for lunch.

Found this recipe through Pinterest and it's courtesy of As a Verb.

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Makes one serving

Ingredients

 

For Balsamic Vinaigrette:
- 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp sugar

 

For Salad:
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 5 strawberries
- 1 tbsp almond slivers
- 1 tbsp feta
- Cracked pepper to taste

 

Directions

 

1. Heat up a sauté pan on medium heat, spread the almonds out evenly. When they began to brown, spread out so the other sides get toasted. Remove from heat.  (Note: I didn't bother with this and just had the almonds uncooked.  Maybe I'll try next time).

 

2. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, soy sauce, & sugar.

 

3.  Slice up strawberries, then toss with spinach & a tablespoon of dressing. Top off with almonds & feta, & cracked pepper.

It was yummy!  I may try next time with bocconcini cheese instead.
