Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for a refreshing and vibrant Summer Freshness Salad. With the hot weather upon us, this colorful dish is the perfect way to cool down and enjoy the abundance of seasonal produce.

For this salad, you will need a mix of fresh ingredients to create a symphony of flavors and textures. Start by gathering the following items:

Once you have all the ingredients ready, it’s time to prepare the salad. Wash the baby spinach and strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and roughly chop the walnuts. Tear the mint leaves into smaller pieces for added freshness.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach, strawberries, feta cheese, walnuts, and mint leaves. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and olive oil over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

To serve, divide the salad into individual plates or bowls. Garnish with some extra mint leaves for a pop of color and an aromatic touch. This Summer Freshness Salad is best enjoyed immediately to savor the crispness of the ingredients and the burst of flavors.
