A refreshing summer salad featuring a base of baby spinach topped with vibrant strawberries, blueberries, and toasted pecans, finished with a zesty citrus vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Wash the spinach and berries thoroughly and dry completely using a salad spinner.
  3. In a small jar, combine olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper; shake well to emulsify.
  4. Place the spinach, strawberries, blueberries, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  6. Top with the warm toasted pecans and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Dry the spinach completely to ensure the dressing sticks to the leaves.
  • Toast the pecans just before serving for the best aroma and crunch.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
