Ingredients
For Salad:
  • 6 cups packed baby spinach
  • 2 mandarin oranges , peeled and sectioned
  • 1 cup strawberries , halved (can substitute raspberries, if desired-keep whole)
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese , crumbled
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans (I used pecans)

Instructions
  1. Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh squeezed orange juice, and honey together to make the vinaigrette. Once mixed, set aside until time to dress the salad.
  2. The salad (as written) will make either 2 large entree salads, or 4 small side salads. To serve, divide chilled baby spinach leaves into serving bowls or onto plates. Evenly divide and arrange the strawberries, mandarin orange slices, blackberries, feta and pecans over the spinach.
  3. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over each salad, then toss to combine ingredients, and serve! If you want to prepare the salad ahead of serving time, do not add vinaigrette. Keep salad covered and refrigerated. Right before serving, remove chilled salad from refrigerator, give salad dressing a stir and drizzle it on salad!
