- Yield: 6-8 servings 1x
- Category: salad
- Method: no cook
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 oz baby spinach
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, very thinly sliced
- 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup pecan halves, toasted
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette (I like Brianna's)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except for dressing in a large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, add dressing and toss to coat.
Notes
- To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and place in the oven at 400°F for 8-10 minutes.
- I like to prepare the bacon in a cast iron skillet in the oven for the least mess. Cook in a preheated skillet at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy, then drain on paper towels and crumble.
- Leave off the mushrooms if you don't care for them.
- For vegetarian, leave off the bacon.
