Ingredients
- 5 cups baby spinach
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 6 ounces Brie cheese
- 1 cup raw pecan halves
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the baby spinach. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. Add them to the bowl with the baby spinach.
Step 3
Cut the Brie cheese into small bite-sized cubes. Make sure the rind is intact as it adds flavor and texture to the salad. Add the Brie to the bowl.
Step 4
Toast the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once toasted and fragrant, set them aside to cool briefly before adding to the salad.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until emulsified and smooth.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine and coat evenly.
