STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Strawberry and Spinach Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette image

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!

SPINACH STRAWBERRY BALSAMIC BLEU CHEESE SALAD



Spinach Strawberry Balsamic Bleu Cheese Salad image

My family (elderly parents included) were too busy eating and "mmmm-ing" and "oooo-ing" to initially comment. When they finally finished, each of them declared that this was the best salad they had ever eaten. Truly a texture delight, it is also a perfect blend of sweet, sour, crunchy, smooth and all around delicious. The dressing is sweet, so you don't want to "over dress" your salad. You may change this salad by exchanging mandarin oranges, blueberries, craisins, or other fruit of choice for the strawberries, Although I prefer almonds or pecans, you can use walnuts or sunflower seeds. And substituting good goat cheese for the bleu cheese is also another variation. No substitution has ever been bad in my estimation.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb fresh spinach, rinsed and dried well
1 quart strawberry, cleaned, hulled and sliced
1/3 cup slivered almonds or 1/3 cup pecans, toasted
1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon shallot, very finely minced
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • In small bowl mix together olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, shallot and sugar.
  • Whisk in teaspoon of Dijon mustard until dressing is smooth. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • In large bowl, combine spinach, strawberries, nuts, and cheese.
  • If you are sure you will be using all of the spinach salad, dress salad lightly immediately before serving. If you will have some salad left over (which rarely happens in my family) allow each individual to dress their own salad. It is a sweet dressing so a little goes a long way.

This refreshing salad combines sweet strawberries, crunchy toasted almonds, and salty feta with a delicious honey-balsamic vinaigrette. For the carnivores, optional basil-balsamic grilled chicken tops it off.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 22

Chicken
Balsamic-Basil Grilled Chicken (skip down to Strawberry Feta Salad if not including chicken)
1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic (minced)
20 fresh basil leaves (chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Strawberry Feta Salad
1/3 cup sliced almonds
3 cups mixed greens
3 cups baby spinach
1 cup strawberries (hulled and sliced)
1/2 small red onion (halved and sliced)
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 clove garlic (minced)
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • If including chicken, pound the chicken breasts to approximately 1/2 inch thick. Add to a gallon-sized Ziploc bag (I actually pound it right in the bag then add the marinade. I'm a little worried about causing holes, but it hasn't happened yet). Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the chicken in the bag. Refrigerate for at least an hour, up to 12 hours.
  • Grill for about three minutes on each side until cooked through. Set aside.
  • Make the salad dressing. Whisk together all the ingredients - olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and salt. Refrigerate for at least an hour, if possible, so the flavors meld.
  • Toast almonds in a saute pan on medium high for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until you can smell them/they look toasted. Set aside and let cool.
  • In a large salad bowl, toss together the mixed greens, spinach, strawberries, onion, feta cheese, and cooled sliced almonds.
  • Just before serving, pour the salad dressing over the salad and gently toss again.
  • Cut the chicken into slices, if using, and place it atop individual servings as desired.

STRAWBERRY BALSAMIC SALAD



Strawberry Balsamic Salad image

This is my version of a recipe I found from Rachel Ray. It's sweet and delicious!

Provided by Lindsey McCue

Categories     Lettuce Salads

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp strawberry jam
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
5-7 strawberries, sliced into thin slices (and with the stems cut off)
1/4 c red onion, finely diced
4-5 c romaine or red lettuce, chopped
1/2 c candied or toasted walnuts, chopped
crumbled goat cheese or feta to taste, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl add the strawberry jam and balsamic vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use. (Bring to room temp. before using)
  • 2. In a large salad bowl toss the strawberries, red onion, and lettuce together. Pour dressing over lettuce and toss to coat evenly. Add nuts and cheese and toss. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for berries that are bright red, plump, and have a sweet aroma.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The berries will start to wilt if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This Strawberry Balsamic Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of sweet strawberries, tangy balsamic vinegar, and creamy goat cheese is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try.
