03 -
10 oz fresh baby spinach

⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
07 -
1 cup toasted pecans, some chopped
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and reduces by about half (around 10 minutes). Remove from heat and pour the balsamic glaze into a heat-proof bowl to cool. The glaze will thicken further as it cools.

In a large bowl, combine baby spinach, strawberries, blueberries, and feta cheese. Toss to evenly mix the ingredients.

Divide the salad into individual serving bowls. Top each serving with whole and chopped toasted pecans. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top before serving.
