I picked up what was left of the local strawberries. They were SO juicy that they practically melted in my mouth! Next spring I hope to be more in tune with the short strawberry season and actually go pick some and turn it into freezer jam. But with the few I had I used on a bed of fresh baby spinach from my mom's garden! What a treat!
I toasted chopped pecans, sliced strawberries and crumbled feta cheese. I looked up a recipe for a raspberry vinaigrette only to find out this recipe called for raspberry syrup, something you find in the international isle of the store. Well, I wasn't about to run to the store so I threw in some raspberry jam into my vinaigrette instead. JUST AS DELICIOUS! Here's the recipe-
Baby spinach or a spring mix
feta cheese
strawberries
chopped,toasted pecans
Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 Tablespoon raspberry jam
pinch of salt & pepper
Blend until smooth- Drizzle onto salad quickly. The dressing seemed to separate very fast. Serve with a smile and get ready to reload that salad plate!
Wow! Sounds and looks good. I have made a similar vinegarette and used strawberry jam. I thought it was very yummy that way too.
