Time 10m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 c. extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. poppy seeds
2 tsp. dijon mustard

2 5-oz. containers baby spinach
1 lb. strawberries, halved or sliced
2 oranges, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 c. chopped pecans, toasted
4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • For the dressing: In a small jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, vinegar, poppy seeds, mustard, salt, and pepper. Seal the jar; shake vigorously to combine. Set aside.
  • For the salad: Just before serving, add the spinach to a large bowl or platter; top with half of the strawberries and orange slices. Drizzle with half of the dressing; gently toss to coat. Top the salad with the remaining berries, orange slices, pecans, and goat cheese. Drizzle with your desired amount of the remaining dressing, and serve the remainder on the side, if you like.

Tips:

  • Fresh and Quality Ingredients: Always use the freshest and best quality ingredients available. This will greatly enhance the flavor and texture of your salad.
  • Properly Clean the Spinach: Before using, thoroughly rinse the spinach leaves in cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use Ripe Strawberries: Choose ripe, juicy strawberries for the best flavor. If they're not in season, you can use frozen or dried strawberries.
  • Toast the Nuts: Toasting the nuts will bring out their flavor and add a nice crunchy texture to the salad.
  • Homemade Dressing: Making your own dressing instead of using a store-bought one gives you control over the ingredients and allows you to customize the flavor to your liking.
  • Let the Salad Chill: After assembling the salad, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld and enhance the overall taste.
