Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the stems and slice them into thin pieces.
- Walnuts: Roughly chop the walnuts. If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until they are fragrant. Let them cool.
- Spinach: Rinse the spinach leaves under cold water and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner. Remove any thick stems if desired.
- Place the spinach leaves in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sliced strawberries and chopped walnuts on top of the spinach.
- Drizzle the vinegar over the salad ingredients.
4. Toss the Salad:
- Gently toss the salad to ensure that the spinach leaves, strawberries, and walnuts are evenly coated with vinegar. Be careful not to mush the strawberries.
- Transfer the salad to a serving plate or individual bowls.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp texture and flavors.
Tips:
- Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes to enhance their flavor and add extra crunch.
- Use balsamic vinegar for a sweeter, richer taste or apple cider vinegar for a tangier flavor.
- Add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil to the salad for a more balanced taste.
- Consider adding a bit of goat cheese or feta for extra creaminess and depth of flavor.
- Ensure your strawberries are ripe for the best sweetness and juiciness in the salad.
- Feel free to double or triple the recipe if you're serving more people or want leftovers.
