Ingredients

Balsamic Dressing

1 cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup honey or brown sugar

Spinach Strawberry Salad

10 oz baby spinach fresh
3 cups strawberries cleaned and hulled, sliced
1 cup blueberries
⅓ cup feta cheese crumbled
1 cup pecans toasted, some of them chopped

Instructions

Salad Dressing - Balsamic Glaze

In a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat.
Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and reduces by about half (about 10 or so minutes).
Remove from heat and pour the balsamic glaze into a heat-proof bowl to cool off. The glaze will get thicker as it cools off.
Consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon but should not be overly thick.

Salad

In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients, except the pecans. Toss to combine.
Divide the salad into individual serving bowls.
Top each serving bowl with whole and chopped toasted pecans.
Drizzle the top of the salad in each bowl with balsamic glaze.
