Ingredients

Method

  1. Whisk oil, vinegar, honey and salt into a dressing.
  2. Wash and dry spinach and strawberries well. Put spinach in a bowl, add berries and break goat cheese into small pieces over them.
  3. Add walnuts and toss lightly with dressing just before serving.
A little note

For a gentler flavor, start with half the dressing and add more to taste.

Cooking tips

  • Dry spinach and berries thoroughly before assembling the salad.
  • Add dressing immediately before serving and toss gently to avoid bruising the strawberries.

Ingredient swaps

Pecans can replace walnuts in the same amount for a different crunch; both are tree nuts.
