Sweet strawberries, salty feta and crunchy walnuts jazz up a simple spinach salad. The balsamic vinaigrette is incredibly easy; fresh shallots add more zip than you'll find in any commercial dressing.
Ingredients:
1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon best-quality balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallot
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
6 cups baby spinach
1 cup sliced strawberries
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup toasted chopped walnuts
Directions:
Whisk oil, vinegar, shallot, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to allow shallots to soften and mellow a bit.
Add spinach, strawberries, feta and walnuts to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing.
