Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups lightly packed baby spinach
6 ounces strawberries (1 1/2 cups), hulled and thinly sliced
1/4 cups almonds (1 1/2 ounces), toasted and coarsely chopped

2 ounces feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Whisk together oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach, strawberries, almonds, sesame seeds, and feta. Gently toss until spinach is evenly coated with dressing. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, you can buy pre-washed spinach and asparagus. You can also use frozen asparagus, which should be thawed before using.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • To make the salad more substantial, you can add some grilled chicken or salmon.
  • For a vegetarian option, you can add some crumbled tofu or tempeh to the salad.
