Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 5 cups Baby Spinach nutrient-packed base full of vitamins A and C
  • 1 pint Strawberries sliced (about 2 cups) for sweetness and color
  • 1 cup Red Onion thinly sliced for a zesty bite
  • ¾ cup Feta Cheese crumbled for a salty, creamy contrast
  • ½ cup Cooked Bacon crumbled for crunch and flavor

For the Dressing

  • 3 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar for tangy flavor depth

  • ¼ tsp Salt to enhance flavors

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl: combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and set aside for flavors to meld.
  • Combine the salad in a large bowl: add the baby spinach, sliced strawberries, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and cooked crumbled bacon. Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat each ingredient with the delicious dressing. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Optional: Top with additional feta crumbles for an extra creamy touch. Use fresh ingredients, avoid overdressing, and serve immediately for best taste.
