Strawberry Salad

Submit Discuss

Now this is the way to eat spinach: with yummy strawberries and sugared pecans. You'll be tempted to skip the spinach and just suck down the sweet stuff but don't--spinach is packed with folate, something your growing Mini needs.


  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 9-ounce bag of fresh spinach
  • 1 lb. strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Raspberry vinaigrette or blush wine vinaigrette (Brianna's Blush Wine Vinaigrette is a favorite)

1 Combine the brown sugar, pecans and chili powder in a small saucepan.

2 Cook and stir constantly over medium-low heat until all of the brown sugar is melted and the pecans are coated.

3 Remove from heat and spread the pecans out over wax paper to cool.

4 Place the spinach and strawberries together in a large salad bowl.

5 Toss with the vinaigrette.

6 Once the pecans have cooled, break into pieces and shove into your mouth with wild abandon, but leave a couple to sprinkle over salad.
