I was given this recipe from an American friend of mine, Alice. The salad is so simple yet it is sure to impress – in fact I think it’s good enough to serve at a dinner party!

The delicate flavors are offset by the sharpness of the feta and balanced by the balsamic vinegar.  The brilliant color contrast of the strawberries against the contrasting bright green spinach leaves and white feta looks amazing. In fact this is a great salad for the festive season with its lovely Christmas colors.
