Notes
Tip: To prevent the spinach from wilting, add the balsamic glaze just before serving.
Storage: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Keep the balsamic glaze separate until just before serving.
Substitutions: You can swap the pecans for other nuts like walnuts or almonds, and try different berries such as raspberries or blackberries.
