We have been in love with this spinach salad ever since our last visit to our friends’ house, in Toronto, Canada. For the last few weeks, we’ve been sticking to this salad as a daily routine. I would never expect that this salad can taste so good, given such an odd mixture of ingredients.
This salad is fresh, with sweetness of berries. Feta adds a nice flavor of cheese to it; you may choose to substitute it with goat cheese. For the dressing, you can use regular balsamic vinegar, and just add a teaspoon of honey.
p.s. I used Driscoll’s Berries in this salad, they are the best berries I have tried.

I can almost smell the toasted pecans. Sheesh girlie this salad sounds amazing!
Toasted pecans are addictive 🙂 Usually when I try one, I eat a ton of them. Yeah, this salad is very good, I was thinking of adding other berries in the summer time when I make it.
