Best 9 Spinach Strawberry Balsamic Bleu Cheese Salad Recipes

SPINACH STRAWBERRY SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Make pecans first. Stir together the 2 tablespoons of sugar and warm water and mix to combine. Add the pecans and soak for 10 minutes, then drain thoroughly. Mix together the 1 tablespoon of sugar, chili powder, and cayenne pepper, then toss the pecans in the mixture. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment or nonstick foil and bake for 10 minutes at 350°, stirring once about halfway through the baking time. Move the pecans and parchment or foil to a cooling rack while preparing the rest of the salad. Add the greens, then blue cheese, mandarin oranges and strawberries to a large salad bowl. Set aside. Make the vinaigrette by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, shallot, salt, and a few gratings of black pepper. Then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk until the oil is incorporated and the dressing is thick and emulsified. To serve, toss the salad with enough of the salad dressing to lightly coat the greens. Pass extra dressing as needed.
