Instructions
1. Always wash produce before eating.
Wash your fresh produce. Rinse in a colander under tepid running water, then lay on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry. Allow the fruits and spinach to air dry for 30 to 60 minutes before preparing your salad.
2. Tear the spinach leaves, then place them in the large salad bowl. Add the strawberries, blueberries and sliced red onion. Sprinkle the toasted pecan pieces over the entire salad.
3. Tongs make it easy to mix ingredients.
Toss the salad by picking up sections of it with the salad tongs and gently mixing it. Use a light touch while tossing the salad to avoid smashing the berries. Set the salad aside.
4. Prepare your vinaigrette dressing for the spinach, strawberry and pecan salad. Pour the vinegars, honey, mustard, curry and pepper into a glass jar. Put the lid on the jar and shake the dressing to mix the ingredients well.
5. Drizzle half the vinaigrette dressing over the salad. Toss the salad to distribute the dressing. Add the rest of the dressing and toss again.
6. Garnish the top of the salad with a handful of crunchy oriental noodles.
