Spinach and strawberries are plentiful this time of year so why not blend the two in this sweet salad along with tonight’s BBQ?
Simply and easy ingredients are:
1 cupsliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cupcrumbled goat cheese
1/2 cupraw pecans
Dressing:
1/4 cupbalsamic vinegar
2 tablespoonshoney
1/2 cupolive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Thanks to Nadira, this salad has become a staple at all our family functions. We call it Nadira’s Salad. It is so good we simply have never had any leftover.
I start out by caramelizing the pecans in cane sugar. Nadira suggests corn syrup. Place the pecans in a fry pan along with the sugar and slowly melt the sugar to cover the pecans. Let cool. I make double what I need and keep them for the next salad or just to nipple on.
You can add blueberries as well if you like.
Toss the rest of the ingredients in a salad bowl and voilà.
