Equipment

  • salad spinner, optional

Ingredients

For the salad

  • 3 large handfuls fresh baby spinach
  • 1 large handful arugula
  • 1 cup (280 grams) strawberries, sliced
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

For the salad dressing

  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp (8 mL) maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash your spinach and arugula and dry thoroughly. If you don't have a salad spinner, dry your greens with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, arugula, green onion and sliced strawberries.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette by combining all of the ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake. Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until emulsified.
  • Add as much of the dressing as you like to your salad; any leftover vinaigrette can be saved for another day. Toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top of your salad and serve.
  • Enjoy.
