Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh spinach, thoroughly washed and gently dried

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced into thin rounds

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled for added texture

1/4 cup sliced almonds (or substitute with walnuts for a different nutty flavor)

1/2 small red onion, finely sliced for a mild onion flavor

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, to enhance the dressing

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, for acidity and depth

1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), to add a touch of sweetness

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are well blended and emulsified. Taste the dressing and feel free to adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or vinegar as preferred.

    Combine the Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, layer in the fresh spinach, sliced strawberries, crumbled feta cheese, sliced almonds, and finely sliced red onion. This will create a vibrant mix of colors and textures.

      Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad. Begin by adding half of the dressing, and gently toss the salad to coat the ingredients without bruising the spinach. If needed, add more dressing to reach your desired flavor profile.

        Garnish & Serve: For an elegant touch, optionally sprinkle additional feta cheese and a handful of sliced almonds on top of the salad. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and crunch of the spinach.
