Ingredients
SALAD
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 8 fresh strawberries sliced
- 2 tablespoon thinly sliced red onion
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
GLAZED PECANS
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ cup pecans
DRESSING
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Divide spinach, strawberries, red onion, and feta into two serving bowls.
- In a medium-sized microwaveable bowl, add brown sugar, butter, and maple syrup. Microwave for about 1 minute or just until bubbling. Carefully remove from microwave and stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Dunk pecans into maple-butter mixture to coat and then set aside on a plate to cool and harden. You can speed up the cooling process by putting them in the fridge.
- While pecans are cooling, prepare dressing by adding ingredients to a small mason jar with a lid and shake.
- Place cooled pecans on top of each salad, drizzle with dressing and serve.
Notes
- Offer dressing on the side to prevent salad leftovers from becoming soggy.
- Feel free to offer topping on the side if you have picky eaters.
