Recipe for strawberry salad with spinach and tomato
The most delightful summery strawberry tomato salad is here. The salad is fresh, simple, and consists of very few elements, but elements that complement each other incredibly well. The spinach is quite neutral on its own but looks beautiful and really allows the strawberries and tomatoes to shine..
Additionally, I have crispy sugar snap peas and soft creamy feta.
Everything is tossed in a good balsamic vinegar, resulting in a beautiful and delicious salad that’s ready in just 10 minutes.
Balsamic vinegar comes in light and dark varieties. They have a slightly tangy flavor that pairs well with many salads – especially those with a slightly sweet element, like the strawberries here. The balsamic creates a fine counterbalance to the sweetness and adds flavor to the salad. You can use balsamic as it is when you buy it. But you can also simmer it in a small pot until it reduces to about half and has a slightly syrupy consistency (glaze) – this gives it an even more intense flavor and is perfect for just drizzling on top of salads.
I use the quick, store-bought version in this salad, but the glaze would also complement it well.
