SPINACH SALAD WITH STRAWBERRIES
Delicious colorful light salad. I have also served with chicken tenders. Strawberries are my favorite especially when in season, but you can use any fruit desired. It takes a little while to make the spiced pecans, but is well worth it or you can also toast the pecans instead of using spiced version.

Tips:

- Toast the nuts: Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Add some protein: If you want to make this salad a more complete meal, you can add some grilled chicken, salmon, or tofu.
