Instrucțiuni

To prepare the dressing:

Blend

Put sliced strawberries and balsamic vinegar into a blender; liquefy briefly.

Combine

Add in fresh herbs (thyme or basil) and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Then add the olive oil. Blend until the oil combines well with the other ingredients - it will change color and texture as it does.

Taste

Take cover off and taste - add more salt, pepper, or fresh herbs if needed. This recipe makes enough dressing (about 1 3/4 cup) for at least 2 or 3 salads.

To prepare the salad:

Compose

Place spinach in a bowl or on a large platter. Top with strawberries, toasted pecans, and crumbled goat cheese.

Season and Dress

Add some salt and pepper and then dress with the strawberry balsamic dressing.
