Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/4 cup extra light tasting olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salad
- 10 ounces fresh baby spinach torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 small red onion, sliced
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 avocado, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2-1/2 ounces light feta cheese
- 1/2 cup pecans
Instructions
- In a mason jar, combine dressing ingredients. Seal and shake until well combined. Set aside on counter.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, onions, strawberries, and blueberries. Pour about 1/2 of dressing over salad and toss. Top with avocado, cheese, and pecans.
- Refrigerate salad for 15 minutes before serving (or serve immediately). Store dressing at room temperature.
- Serve with the remaining dressing on the side. Shake well before using. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you are making the salad ahead, wait to add any dressing until about 15 minutes before serving. This will help keep the spinach from wilting.
- Add sliced grilled chicken for a fabulous summer meal.
