Description
A vibrant salad that combines the earthy flavor of spinach with the sweet juiciness of blueberries and creamy feta cheese, perfect for a light lunch or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup candied pecans (toasted)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine baby spinach and blueberries. Make sure the spinach is washed and dried properly to keep the salad fresh.
- Add crumbled feta and toasted pecans to the bowl. The feta will add tanginess while the pecans provide a satisfying crunch.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette. The lemon juice brightens the flavors, while honey adds a touch of sweetness.

Notes
For best results, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
