Description

Fast Prep, Big Flavours

This is a fabulous salad - especially for special occasions! Its a surprising combination of ingredients that works brilliantly together. The Dressing is especially beautiful! This is a recipe by Chef Varnedoe of Baton Rouge’s Restaurant IPO (now closed :( ), via Around Annas Table.

Ingredients

  • 250g / 8 oz fresh strawberries, tops cut off
  • ¾ cups balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar, packed (light brown)
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam or preserves
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup pecans (mostly whole, can chop some)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (any)
  • 2 tbsp / 30g butter
  • 4 cups baby spinach, packed
  • 16 large strawberries, sliced (250g/8 oz)
  • 75 - 100g / 2 - 3.5 oz blue cheese, crumbled (to taste)
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  • Whizz Dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender. Strain if desired (to remove little strawberry seeds). Keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
  • Pecans: Line a tray with parchment / baking paper. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add pecans, toss to coat. Add sugar and stir for 5 minutes. The sugar will melt and coat the pecans. Pour onto tray, spread out, allow to cool - it will harden.
  • To serve, place the spinach and half the strawberries in a bowl and drizzle over a bit of Dressing. Toss gently, then transfer to a serving bowl. Top with remaining strawberries, then drizzle with more Dressing. Crumble over blue cheese and scatter with pecans. Serve immediately, with remaining Dressing on the side!
