Strawberry Spinach Salad

For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ... 

This is the best version of Strawberry Spinach Salad I have ever made. This salad includes candied pecans and candied strawberries with a homemade balsamic dressing. It's a delicious combination of textures and flavors that compliment each other. This salad is similar to a fancy one you would get in a café, but it's much cheaper. I'd eat this "summer"-style salad all year round!

What is in Strawberry Spinach salad

Dressing Balsamic Vinaigrette

This strawberry salad's dressing is my favorite... okay, it's tied with the candied nuts! I used Beth's simple homemade balsamic vinegaraigrette, but replaced the mayonnaise for honey to give it a sweeter taste. The results were absolutely incredible!

If you do not have all the ingredients in your pantry, then you can use store-bought balsamic vinegar. But I promise that this homemade vinaigrette tastes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. You should definitely give it a go! ;)

How to store Strawberry Spinach Salad

The strawberry spinach salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To prevent the spinach from wilting, store the strawberries separately. Add the dressing to the salad just before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Monti and myself ate this salad as a lunch by itself. You can add grilled shrimp or chicken to the top for an even more filling meal. This salad pairs well with leaner proteins like pan-seared or baked chicken.

How to make a STRAWBERRY SPINSASALAD with photos - step by step

Make the homemade vinaigrette. Add to a blender, jar or bowl 1/3 cup of olive oil, 3 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1 minced garlic clove. Add the top to the jar, and then shake it, whisk the mixture in a bowl or blend the ingredients until they are all evenly combined. Set aside the vinaigrette.

Then, make the candied nuts. Add 1/2 Tbsp of butter, 2 tbsp of brown sugar and a pinch salt to a small, non-stick pan. Stirring constantly, heat over medium-low heat until butter and brown sugar melts. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and add to the mixture. Continue cooking for another 2-4 minutes, or until all the brown sugar has melted and the pecans are completely coated.

To prevent brown sugar from burning, remove the pan from the heat as soon as possible. Spread the candied nuts out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them cool down for 10 minutes to allow the sugar coating to harden.

Prepare the remaining ingredients. Wash and thinly slice 1/4 red onion. Portion out 2 oz. of crumbled cheese. Gather your candied pecans.

Divide 8 oz. of spinach into four salad plates. (approximately 2 oz. per plate). Or, you can place all the spinach in a large serving bowl. Pour 2 Tbsp balsamic dressing on each salad plate, or pour 1/3 cup over the spinach bowl. The rest of the vinaigrette can be added right before serving.

Divide the toppings between four salad plates (sliced strawberries and red onions, 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese, 1-2 tablespoons candied pecans), or add them to a large salad serving bowl. Enjoy! Drizzle a bit more balsamic on each salad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between "regular" and smoked paprika powder?

Regular Paprika Powder (Piment d'Espelette) is an essential ingredient for our recipes. We use it for its intense flavor and color. It's also used as a spice and seasoning agent. Smoked Paprika Powder (Paprika Chorizo) adds a smoky taste and aroma to dishes. Both types of Paprika Powder come from Spain, where they grow the best peppers in the world.

Smoked Paprika Powder (Chorizo Paprika) is made from red peppers, which are dried slowly in special ovens. This gives them a rich flavor. They are then ground and mixed with salt, garlic, and spices.

Regular Paprika Powder (Espelette Paprika) is made by grinding green bell peppers without additives.

How to make herbal remedies at home?

Making herbal remedies at home is easy. All you need is fresh herbs, water, salt, and sugar. You can use any herb, depending on what you want to create.

For example, choose mint, basil, chamomile, or lemon balm to make a soothing tea. If you want to make a cooling drink, try rosemary, thyme, lavender, or eucalyptus.

All you need to do is put all the ingredients into a pot and boil them until they become soft. Strain out the herbs and serve hot.

Add honey to the boiling mixture to make a tonic drink. Honey is a preservative and will keep your herbal remedy fresh for longer.

You can also combine two or three herbs to make a more potent brew. For instance, you could mix equal parts of garlic and ginger to make a powerful antiseptic. Or you can combine equal amounts of turmeric and ginger to make a potent immune booster.

Soak a clean cloth in warm water and place it over the affected area to make a compress. Leave it for 10 minutes before removing it. Do this every day until the swelling goes down.

Make sure you consult your doctor first before using herbal remedies. Some plants may interact negatively with other medications. Also, don't take large quantities of herbs because they can cause side effects.

Is it okay to use dried herbs instead of fresh ones?

It is best to pick up fresh herbs whenever possible when using herbs.

Although dried herbs are convenient, they don’t provide the same benefits as fresh herbs.

Fresh herbs contain essential oils that give your food a unique flavor. These oils help preserve the nutrients within the herb.

Dried herbs lose all their flavor after drying, so they cannot replace fresh herbs.

You should only use dried herbs if you absolutely must. Otherwise, you should get your fresh herbs from the market.

What is the difference between herbs and spices?

Herbs are used for cooking, and spices are used for seasoning.

Herbs have more intense flavors and can be used to cook dishes, while spices can bring out the flavor of foods without altering the taste.

Spices can also be added to food during preparation, such as curry. Spices may be bought individually, or whole packages may be purchased. There are many spices, including black pepper, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, garlic, ginger, nutmeg, oregano, paprika, parsley, rosemary, sage, salt, thyme, turmeric, vanilla extract, etc.

The best way to ensure that you are selecting the right spice for your dish is to read the label carefully. If there is an ingredient list, look for "spice" among the ingredients. A common mistake cooks make is buying too much of a particular spice because they do not realize how little they need.

There are a few basic rules to follow when choosing which herb or spice to use. For example, most herbs are fresh, whereas spices tend to last longer. Also, herbs are generally found in small quantities, while spices come in larger containers. Finally, most herbs are usually sold loose (or ground), while spices are packaged in jars or cans.

As long as you are careful to select the correct herbs or spices, you will find that adding them to recipes makes preparing meals easier. After all, spices add flavor to various dishes, while herbs can help improve the appearance and aroma of food.

Which plant can heal wounds?

Plants are amazing creatures. They grow, they live, and they die. They make food, clean our air and water, and help keep us healthy. But plants also do more than that...they heal wounds.

Plants release molecules called phytochemicals when they are injured. These chemicals act as antioxidants, which protect cell membranes from damage and promote healing.

Phytochemicals found in plants include flavones (found in citrus fruits), terpenoids (present in mint leaves), and polyphenols (common in berries).

In addition to these protective compounds, plants contain proteins, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates that support the body's natural processes of healing.

The best way to use plants to heal wounds is to consume them directly. However, there are ways to apply the power of plants to treat wounds without eating them.

First, soak a cotton ball in an extract from the St John's Wort herb. This product contains salicylic acid, which helps reduce inflammation.

Next, place the soaked cotton ball on the wound. Avoid applying the herb directly to open cuts, burns, or puncture wounds. If you feel any burning sensation, remove the herb immediately.

You may also find that placing a few drops of essential oil on the affected area promotes faster healing. Lavender essential oil reduces swelling and speed recovery; rosemary stimulates blood flow and increases circulation; peppermint relieves headaches and muscle aches.

If you want to try your hand at growing some of your medicinal herbs, here are some tips:

• Start with small pots, so you don't end up with too much of one particular type of plant.
• Grow several different types of herbs together. The same goes for flowers and vegetables. Mixing it up will ensure you get all the benefits of each plant.
• Use organic fertilizer if you're growing your herbs indoors. Non-organic fertilizers may be harmful to your health.
• Harvest regularly. You'll enjoy the freshness of homegrown herbs, but leave enough time between harvests to allow the soil to replenish itself.
• Be careful not to overwater your plants. Overly wet soil encourages mold growth, which isn't suitable for your herbs.
• Wash your hands after handling your herbs. You don't want to risk spreading bacteria onto your plants!

How To

How to use herbs safely?

Many people think that herbs should only be used under medical supervision because they believe that some herbs are poisonous. However, this is not true.

Many herbs have long histories of safe use. For example, garlic has been used for thousands of years to fight infections. It's also been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce high blood pressure.

However, if you're pregnant or nursing, avoid taking certain herbs. You should also avoid them if you suffer from allergies or sensitivities to herbs.

You can do several things to ensure you get the best results from your herbs and supplements. First, always read labels before consuming anything containing herbs or spices. Second, take the lowest dose recommended on the label. Third, don't use more than one supplement at any given time. Fourth, talk to your doctor about how to combine specific herbs and supplements. Finally, keep track of your consumption to know whether you need to adjust your dosage.
