Spinach Strawberry Feta Salad

Sharing is caring!

The other day I made this Spinach Strawberry Feta Salad because I needed something light and healthy. I love strawberries and gathered some of the ingredients I had in the refrigerator to make this lovely spring salad idea.

I notice that I tend to eat more salads at the beginning of the week and think that maybe I subconsciously believe that if I start out the week on a healthy note, then I can indulge a little more towards the end of the week.

I have to say that this salad can be made with other berries too, I have made it with blackberries and blueberries. I think I am going to try watermelon sometime.

I like a little crunch in the salad and while many strawberry feta salad recipes contain walnuts, I like to add some chopped candied pecans to this. The slight sweetness of the berries and pecans complement the feta, mushrooms and spinach very nicely. Add a maple balsamic dressing and you have heaven in a bowl!

You can also use a bottle balsamic dressing if you wish, but it is so easy (and healthier) to make your own. I always use the bagged spinach for this recipe because it saves some time.
