1
Wash and Prepare Spinach
Rinse the baby spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt and grit. Spin dry in a salad spinner or gently pat dry with paper towels.
2
Prepare Seasonal Berries
If using strawberries, hull and slice them. For blueberries and raspberries, simply rinse them under cold water. Combine all berries in a bowl.
3
Crumble Goat Cheese
Take the goat cheese out of its packaging and crumble it into small pieces using your fingers or a fork.
4
Prepare Candied Walnuts
If using pre-packaged candied walnuts, skip this step. If making homemade, toast walnuts in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until fragrant, then add sugar and cook until caramelized. Cool before using.

5
Combine Dressing Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6
Combine Ingredients
In a large salad bowl, combine the washed baby spinach, seasonal berries, crumbled goat cheese, and candied walnuts.
7
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Gently toss everything together to ensure an even coating of dressing on the ingredients.
8
Serve
Divide the salad into individual serving bowls or plates and serve immediately.
