Strawberry Fields Salad

1. 1

   To make spicy walnuts, heat one tablespoon of oil in a pan on medium heat and roast the walnuts. This can also be done in the oven

2. 2

   When it is almost roasted, add 1/2 tablespoon oil , honey and stir/toss to coat the walnuts . Then add the spice powders. Add cayenne according to your preference . I intended for these walnuts to be properly spicy.

3. 3

   Once the spices are roasted too and the walnuts are evenly coated , switch off the heat. Sprinkle some sea salt over the walnuts. Take it off the heat and let it cool in a baking tray.

4. 4

   Prep the strawberries by hulling them and slicing thinly lengthwise. Slice the onions in thin circles and separate the pieces.

5. 5

   Combine the spinach, strawberries, onions and feta cheese.

6. 6

   For the salad dressing , mix the juice of one lemon with a few tablespoons of balsalmic vinegar or a vinaigrette. Add a few grinds of pepper.

7. 7

   Toss the salad with the dressing and let the flavors mingle for at least half an hour before serving. Fold in or garnish with spicy walnuts just before serving.

8. 8

   Note : This salad stays well in the fridge for a few hours. I have actually eaten it the next day also but the spinach does become a bit soggy by then.
