Best Strawberry Spinach Salad with Candied Pecans Recipe

Edit

Ingredients


  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 6 oz baby spinach leaves
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries, stems removed
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (or feta cheese if desired)
  • balsamic vinaigrette (I used Litehouse dressing for this salad)

Instructions


  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Toss in the pecans and brown sugar, stirring to coat. Cook over medium heat until the sugar begins to caramelize (about 3 minutes). 
  • Spread out pecans on a wax paper lined baking sheet to cool.
  • In your salad bowl layer the spinach leaves, strawberries, goat cheese and pecans. Don't pour dressing on salad until ready to serve.
  •  Enjoy!
