Ingredients
Balsamic Glaze:
1 cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup honey or brown sugar
Salad Ingredients:
5 oz spinach
2 medium yellow peaches, sliced
6 oz blackberries
1 cup pecans, toasted
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Balsamic Glaze:
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Heat over medium until it reaches a gentle boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze reduces by half and thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. The glaze should be thick enough to coat a spoon.
Salad Assembly:
In individual bowls, layer spinach, sliced peaches, blackberries, and toasted pecans. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
