I like the balsamic vinagrette combined with the sweet strawberries and fresh spinach. Unlike most salads with sweet berries the flavors are tangy and mild rather than sugary or syrup-y, allowing the sweetness of the berries to shine through. A little goat cheese on each serving would be nice but is optional. I hope you like it, too. Ingredients:
1 ounce balsamic vinegar |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon creole mustard |
3 ounces olive oil |
1 pint ripe strawberry, stemmed & quartered |
16 ounces fresh spinach |
1/4 cup red onion, shaved |
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. For the vinaigrette, combine the vinegar, oil, mustard, and a little salt and pepper to taste.
2. Whisk or shake in a jar until emulsified.
3. Taste the dressing, and adjust to your liking.
4. For the salad, combine the strawberries, onions and spinach in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
5. Toss gently with the dressing just before serving.
