Description
A vibrant blueberry spinach salad featuring a honey balsamic dressing that perfectly balances sweetness and acidity.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh spinach (approximately 3 ounces)
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (choose low/no sugar type for a healthier option)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Toss all the salad ingredients – spinach, pecans, cranberries, feta, and blueberries – in a large bowl. Mix gently to combine and evenly distribute the components.
- To create the dressing, add the olive oil, water, honey, and balsamic vinegar into a mason jar. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until all the ingredients blend smoothly.
- Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving to maintain freshness or keep it on the side for a potluck-style presentation.
Notes
To maintain freshness, store the dressing separately until ready to serve. Use organic ingredients for the best flavor.
