STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a great easy summer salad, with a lot of options as to mixing and matching. Plus the salad looks pretty fancy. You can throw in any summer fruit or berry with this mix, blueberries and raspberries are a good choice, as are blackberries later in the season. The nuts are optional but a pecan or roasted almond adds a little crunch and more protein!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, mustard, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Fresh and ripe berries: Use a variety of fresh and ripe berries to ensure the best flavor. Look for berries that are plump and brightly colored, with no signs of bruising or mold.
- Balsamic vinegar: Choose a high-quality balsamic vinegar for the best flavor. A good balsamic vinegar will be thick, syrupy, and have a sweet and tangy taste.
- Honey: Use a mild-flavored honey, such as clover honey or orange blossom honey. Avoid using a strong-flavored honey, such as buckwheat honey or manuka honey, as it can overpower the delicate flavor of the berries.
- Fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint or basil, can add a refreshing flavor to the salad. If using herbs, be sure to chop them finely before adding them to the salad.
- Serving suggestions: Serve the berry salad as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish, or as a light lunch or snack. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to the salad for a sweet and creamy dessert.
Conclusion:
This berry salad with balsamic vinegar and honey is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh berries. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors is sure to please everyone, and the salad is also a good source of vitamins and antioxidants. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is a great option for a quick and healthy meal or snack.
