Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp onion minced
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Salad
- 10 oz fresh baby spinach
- 1 lb strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 pt blueberries
- 5 oz feta cheese crumbled
- 1/2 cup almonds sliced or slivered
- 4-6 slices bacon cooked and chopped into bite sized pieces
Instructions
Dressing
- Whisk together oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, onion, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Salad
- Combine spinach, strawberries, blueberries, feta cheese, almonds, and bacon in a large bowl. When ready to serve, pour dressing over salad and toss.
Notes
- Whisk the dressing together on more time right before adding to the salad. This helps the oil and vinegar to disperse more evenly.
- The longer the dressing sits, the better the flavor.
- Serve immediately after adding the dressing to prevent the spinach from wilting.
- Walnuts or pecans can be used in place of almonds.
- Dried cranberries are delicious if strawberries or blueberries are not available.
