Step-by-Step Instructions for Mixed Berry Salad
- Begin by gently washing all your fresh berries under cool running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel, ensuring you don't bruise them. Slice the strawberries into smaller pieces for a consistent size.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard until the mixture is smooth. If you prefer a creamier dressing, add a spoonful of mayonnaise. Include honey for sweetness, and keep whisking until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, add baby spinach and arugula. Mix them together gently to avoid bruising.
- Carefully fold your washed and sliced berries into the bowl with the greens, ensuring even distribution.
- Drizzle the prepared balsamic vinaigrette over the salad, starting with a small amount. Toss the salad gently to coat all the greens and berries without crushing them.
- Just before serving, sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and honey roasted pecans on top. Serve immediately for the best freshness.

Notes
Always wash berries gently under cool water to prevent bruising. Dress the salad right before serving to maintain crispness. Prepare the dressing in advance for added flavors.
