Initially it just said “strawberry salad” in my book, because I’m attracted to strawberries and to spinach – not so much. But I have to say that together they make a sweet, delicious and healthy combo. Your kids will love it, you will love it, your guests will love it. I’ll let you in on a little secret: strawberry is a variable, so you can use other berries as well!
For ingredients you will need: 1 lb strawberries, 9-ounce bag of spinach, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, vinaigrette.
To make the salad:
- Mix the brown sugar, pecans and chili powder in a saucepan.
- Cook and stir over medium-low heat until all of the brown sugar has melted and the pecans are coated. Then remove from stove and spread the pecans over wax paper to cool down
- Put the spinach and strawberries together in a large salad bowl, add vinaigrette, toss
- Once the pecans have cooled, break into pieces and sprinkle over salad
Enjoy!
