Ingredients
Salad
- ¾ pound baby spinach
- 1 pound strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¾ cup candied pecans
- ½ red onion, sliced or diced
- ¾ cup goat cheese or bleu cheese
- 1 recipe chardonnay vinaigrette
Instructions
- Place spinach in serving bowl or individual bowls and add the goat, feta or bleu cheese.
- Next add candied pecans, sliced strawberries, dried cranberries and red onions.
- Adjust amounts to accommodate taste. I always add more "stuff" in my salad than my husband. You can include as much or as little as you like! It is so hard for me to only add a few candied pecans!
- Add the dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Short on time? While we think the chardonnay vinaigrette is the best, you can buy a salad dressing instead of making it homemade.
Soak your onions for a milder flavor. If the bite of red onion is too much, soak them cool water first to remove the harsh or severe aftertaste.
Prepare the salad as close to serving as possible for the freshest results.
Store leftover dressing inside an airtight container in your fridge and shake well before serving.
