But, some salads are just plain good. This is so easy and makes a great side to just about anything. The dressing is also wonderful on other salads, so thy it out!
Serves 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: none, duh, it's a salad...
Cost: about $4.00 or $1.00 a serving
Note about cost: since the cost of olive oil and balsamic vinegar can vary tremendously, this is just looking at the cost of a pint of strawberries and the spinach mostly.
1/2 pint of strawberries, quartered
1 bag baby spinach
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
Dressing:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon orange zest
juice of 1 orange
1 teaspoon honey
pepper to taste
* Even though bagged baby spinach is washed, wash it again. I have found some gross leaves in there before.
* Keep balsamic vinegar in the fridge after you open it. Apparently, this can help to keep the flavor sweet.
* Zest the orange before you juice it. I know that seems like a "duh" moment, but I sometimes get so excited that I forget.
* I everything separated and let people put it together themselves. This way, the spinach doesn't wilt either.
