Salad Ingredients

10 oz fresh baby spinach rinsed in cold water and dried
5 large strawberries sliced thin
1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 cup toasted pecans chopped

Dressing Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Preparation

Add the spinach and sliced strawberries to a large bowl.
Add the toasted pecans and Gorgonzola cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper together until well combined.
Pour some of the dressing over the salad, and toss to coat. Serve more dressing on the side.

Notes

Toast pecans in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes for added flavor. Optional, but adds extra flavor. You can substitute goat cheese, feta cheese, or Parmesan cheese for the Gorgonzola and use a store-bought dressing if desired.
