White Balsamic and Maple Syrup dressing

  • ⅓ cup Olive Oil
  • 3 Tbsp White Balsamic
  • 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon Grey Poupon ( white wine base ) for a Gluten free dressing
  • pinch Salt & Pepper

Instructions

Dressing

  • Everything in a mason jar, shake, done! remember to only use ½ or less of the recipe for this Salad otherwise it will be drenched.

The Salad

  • Toasted the sliced Almonds, slice the Red Onion into thicker slices, cut the Strawberries into fork size pieces and measure out Goat Cheese.
  • Empty the Spinach into a serving bowl, spoon 2 - 3 tablespoons of dressing over the top and lightly toss. After tossing try to lift the Spinach so it has as much height as possible. This way when you add all the other ingredients on top it won't be a flat pancake on the bottom of the bowl.
  • Add the Strawberries, Red Onion and half the Almonds to a mixing bowl. Add 2 - 3 tablespoons of dressing and mix.
  • Spread the Strawberry mix evenly around the top of the Spinach.
  • Dot the Goat Cheese evenly around and sprinkle the remaining sliced Almonds over the top.
  • Grab an ice cool Sangria and...Enjoy!

Notes

Gluten free if you make the dressing using a White Wine base Dijon Mustard.
