Notes

    • For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season strawberries and fresh baby spinach.
    • Lightly toast the pecans to bring out their natural sweetness and crunch.
    • Crumbled feta can be swapped with goat cheese for a tangier twist.
    • Want extra convenience? Use a salad spinner to wash and dry your greens quickly — it keeps them crisp and ready to serve!
    • This salad pairs perfectly with grilled chicken or a crusty baguette for a light spring lunch
