Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Spinach

    Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Slice Red Onion

    Cut the red onion in half and then slice each half into thin strips. Rinse under cold water if you prefer to mellow the flavor.

  3. 3

    Halve Cherry Tomatoes

    Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice each one in half. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

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

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the candied pecans and crumbled feta cheese over the salad mixture.

Dressing

  1. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Start with half a cup and add more to taste if desired.

  2. 7

    Toss the Salad

    Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly coated with the dressing.
