Salad Base

Champagne Vinaigrette

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Strawberries

    Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them into thin rounds. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pickled Red Onion

    If you are using store-bought pickled red onions, simply drain them. If making your own, slice red onions thinly and soak in vinegar for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Feta Cheese

    Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces using your hands or a fork.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Champagne Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together champagne vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, add the washed spinach, sliced strawberries, pickled red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

  2. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the champagne vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all ingredients evenly.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Enjoy immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
