# Ingredients:

¼ cup honey or brown sugar
→ Spinach Strawberry Salad
03 -
10 oz baby spinach, fresh
04 -
3 cups strawberries, cleaned, hulled, and sliced
05 -
1 cup blueberries
06 -
⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled
07 -

# Directions:
01 -
In a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook while stirring until the mixture thickens and reduces by half (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and pour the balsamic glaze into a heat-proof bowl to cool. The glaze should thicken further as it cools, achieving a consistency thick enough to coat the back of the spoon without being overly thick.

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