INGREDIENTS:

  • Salad:
  • 4 cups lightly packed baby spinach
  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup feta, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds or pine nuts, toasted (125 ml)
  • Dressing:
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add spinach, strawberries, almonds and feta.
  2. Cooks and cooks' helpers treat the almonds as snack food. It's best to double the almonds so that by the time the salad is ready to serve, there'll be some almonds left!
  3. Gently toss until the salad is evenly coated with dressing
  4. Substitutions: Try using fresh raspberries, mandarin oranges, kiwi, or blueberries.
