Instructions

1

Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

2

Slice the strawberries into thin pieces and set aside. Thinly slice the red onion.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

4

In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, sliced strawberries, red onion, and sliced almonds.

5

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

6

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top just before serving to maintain its texture.

Chef's Tips

  • Toasting the almonds: Lightly toast the almonds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the dressing and chop ingredients ahead of time, but assemble the salad just before serving to keep it fresh.
  • Variations: Add grilled chicken or avocado for extra protein and creaminess.
  • Dressing tip: Adjust honey and vinegar quantities to balance sweetness and tanginess to your taste.
  • Storage: Leftover dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
