Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast pecans on a baking sheet for 5–10 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey or brown sugar. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half and thickened. Cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine baby spinach, strawberries, and blackberries.
Sprinkle with crumbled feta and toasted pecans.
Drizzle cooled balsamic glaze over the top and gently toss before serving.

Notes

Use goat cheese or blue cheese instead of feta for a flavor variation.
Swap pecans with walnuts, almonds, or pistachios.
Arugula or mixed greens are great alternatives to spinach.
Blueberries, raspberries, or cherries can be used based on seasonal availability.
Store glaze and salad components separately until ready to serve to keep spinach fresh.
