Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash and Dry Greens

    Thoroughly wash the frisée and spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Slice the Onion

    Peel and thinly slice the raw red onion. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain.

Assembly of Salad

  1. 3

    Combine Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the washed frisée, spinach, and sliced red onion. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top the salad with candied pecans, sliced fresh strawberries, and crumbled goat cheese. Distribute evenly over the greens.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, strawberry jam, salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the assembled salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
