Premium White Balsamic Strawberry Spinach Salad
Vegetarian
Fezziwig's Premium White Balsamic Vinegar, imported from Modena, has all the tang of a traditional balsamic without the dark color, so it will not turn this spinach and strawberry salad an unappetizing brown.
Ingredients
- 6 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup Fezziwig's Arbequina Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Fezziwig's Premium White Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together the Arbequina Olive Oil, Premium White Balsamic Vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Arrange the spinach on a platter or in a large bowl.
- Top with sliced strawberries, feta cheese, and toasted almonds.
- Drizzle with the dressing just before serving and toss gently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use white balsamic instead of regular balsamic vinegar in this salad?
Premium White Balsamic is made using a process that keeps it light in color while still delivering a tangy-sweet flavor, so it will not discolor pale ingredients like feta cheese or turn the dressing muddy brown.
Can this salad be made ahead of time?
Assemble the spinach, strawberries, feta, and almonds up to a few hours ahead and refrigerate, but hold off on the dressing until just before serving so the spinach does not wilt.
Can this salad be made dairy free?
Yes. Omit the feta cheese, or substitute a plant-based feta alternative; the almonds and dressing carry the dish either way.
