Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Sharp Knife

Ingredients

  • ½ cup of walnut pieces
  • 1 tsp of white sugar
  • Pinch of cardamom
  • 3 cups of baby spinach
  • 2 cups of romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup of sliced strawberries
  • 2-3 tbsp feta cheese
  • 2-3 tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette see recipe link above

Instructions

  • Make the balsamic Dijon vinaigrette, then set it aside.
  • Prepare the candied walnuts by heating a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the walnut pieces, sugar, and cardamom. Stir often until the sugar caramelizes and sticks to the pecans, and the walnuts are toasted. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Make the salad by combining the spinach and romaine lettuce in a large serving bowl. Top with sliced strawberries, cooled walnuts, feta cheese, and pomegranate seeds.
  • To serve, toss with the well-whisked vinaigrette, to taste, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
