Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 1/2 cups strawberries sliced
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds
  • 1/4 cup pistachios chopped
Strawberry Vinaigrette:
  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Wash and prepare spinach, strawberries, avocado, and red onion.
  2. Lightly toast almonds and pistachios in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Blend strawberries, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth to make dressing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine spinach, strawberries, red onion, feta, and nuts.
  5. Add avocado just before serving.
  6. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently to coat.

Notes

Don’t overdress or salad will become soggy quickly. Add avocado last to prevent it from breaking down. Dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Best eaten fresh.
