Citrus Strawberry Spinach Salad

I'm not always a huge fan of green salads, but this one was good. Fruit in a salad is always a good idea!


For the salad:

Spinach - however much you need (depending on your salad bowl)
Strawberries (at least 8-10), rinsed and sliced
Oranges (about 2 or 3), peeled and cut up
1/2 - 3/4 cup roasted pine nuts

For the dressing:
1/2 stick butter
zest of 1 orange
1/4 cup olive oil
2-3 Tbsp brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar

Melt butter in a pot, add orange zest and garlic and saute. Then add olive oil, brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Heat until almost boiling, reduce heat and then set aside.

Toss together salad ingredients and drizzle with dressing. Enjoy! You'll want seconds of this salad.
