SUMMER SALAD



This is one of those wack-a-doodle TASTY videos that are all over the Facebook these days, a lot of which look good, but this one I can't wait to try. I love the idea of a savory strawberry dressing. Will be making at some point over this holiday weekend and will let y'all know!

5 ozs baby spinach leaves
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 
1 sweet apple, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
1 cup candied walnuts, chopped 
Dressing:1 cup strawberries
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. dijon mustard 
1 Tbsp. honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Garnish:Feta cheese

PREPARATION

For the dressing, push a straw through the strawberries from the tip to the green top to remove the hull. (Or you can cut it off with a knife!) 
Add the rest of the dressing ingredients, and blend until smooth. Refrigerate. 
Cut strawberries, apple, and onion into slices.
Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl, drizzle with desired amount of dressing and toss to coat. (Spinach wilts easily, don’t add dressing until ready to eat!)
Sprinkle feta cheese on top and serve.
