Equipment

  • Oven
  • saucepan
  • Baking sheet
  • Large Bowl

Ingredients
  

Ingredients you need to toast in the oven

  • 4 oz Prosciutto toasted
  • ⅔ cup Pecans toasted, some chopped

Balsamic Dressing

  • 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup Honey or brown sugar

Spinach Strawberry Salad

  • 6 oz Baby spinach fresh
  • 3 cups Strawberries cleaned and hulled, sliced
  • 1 cup Blackberries
  • ⅓ cup Feta cheese crumbled

Instructions
 

Toast the pecans and prosciutto

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spread the pecans and torn prosciutto in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast for about 5 or 10 minutes until the nuts turn slightly darker and the prosciutto gets crispy.

Salad Dressing - Balsamic Glaze

  • 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 (about 10 or so minutes).
  • Remove from heat and pour the balsamic glaze into a heat-proof bowl to cool off. The glaze will get thicker as it cools off.
  • Consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon but should not be overly thick.

Salad

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients, except the pecans and prosciutto. Toss to combine.
  • Divide the salad into individual serving bowls.
  • Top each serving bowl with toasted torn prosciutto and whole and chopped toasted pecans.
  • Drizzle the top of the salad in each bowl with balsamic glaze.

Notes

For a different dressing option, consider using high-quality aged balsamic vinegar or store-bought balsamic glaze.
