Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese and Pecans.
Step 1
Start by preparing the dressing. In a container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the white sugar, balsamic vinegar, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, minced shallots, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Give it a good shake until everything is well mixed. Now, add the vegetable oil and shake again to combine. For the best flavor, let this dressing chill in the refrigerator for about an hour, allowing the ingredients to meld beautifully.
Step 2
While the dressing is chilling, it’s time to assemble the salad. In a large bowl, combine the fresh baby spinach leaves, sliced strawberries, toasted pecans, and crumbled goat cheese. The vibrant colors and textures will make your salad visually appealing!
Step 3
Once the dressing is ready, pour it over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly with that delicious dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
