Fresh Berry Spinach Salad Delight
Sometimes, you just need a fresh salad without heading back to the grocery store. Using what I had on hand, I whipped up this Fresh Berry Spinach Salad Delight that's both vibrant and packed with flavor.
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 350kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ounces prosciutto torn into pieces
- 1/2 cup pecans halves or chopped
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 6 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the pecans and torn prosciutto on a parchment-lined baking sheet to ensure even toasting.
- Toast for about 5 to 10 minutes until the prosciutto is crispy and the nuts turn slightly darker. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- In a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat, stirring until it reaches a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens.
- Once thickened, remove the glaze from heat and pour it into a heat-proof bowl to cool. It will continue thickening as it cools.
- In a large bowl, mix together the spinach, strawberries, blackberries, and feta cheese. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to bruise the berries.
- Divide the salad into individual bowls, topping each with the toasted prosciutto and pecans. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze for a perfect finish.
