Salad Base

Candied Walnuts

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach and Strawberries

    In a large salad bowl, add the baby spinach. Rinse the strawberries under cold water, hull them, and slice them into thin pieces. Add the sliced strawberries to the bowl with spinach.

  2. 2

    Add Grilled Chicken and Feta

    Slice the grilled chicken breast into strips and add it to the salad. Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad.

Candied Walnuts Preparation

  1. 3

    Candy the Walnuts

    In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the walnuts and granulated sugar, stirring frequently until the sugar melts and coats the walnuts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 4

    Add Walnuts to Salad

    Once the candied walnuts have cooled, sprinkle them over the salad.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Balsamic Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl or jar, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake until well combined.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
