Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Spinach

    Rinse the baby spinach leaves under cold running water and drain well. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.

    Chop the dried apricots into small bite-sized pieces for easier mixing and eating.

  3. 3

    Measure the Candied Pecans

    Take 1 cup of candied pecans and set aside. If large, you may want to chop them coarsely.

  4. 4

    Crumble the Gorgonzola

    Using a fork or your hands, crumble the gorgonzola cheese into small pieces and set aside.

Assembly

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the washed baby spinach, chopped dried apricots, and candied pecans.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the crumbled gorgonzola cheese over the salad mixture.

  3. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of the salad to taste. You can always add more if needed.
