This lively salad captures the essence of early summer with ripe strawberries, chives and baby spinach. To make it a meal, top it with grilled chicken breast.

Ingredients

Serves:

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or brown sugar

2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

3 cups baby spinach

3 cups watercress, tough stems removed

2 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries (about 12 ounces)

1/3 cup fresh chives, cut into 2-inch pieces

1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans (see Tip)

1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese

Directions

1. Whisk maple syrup (or brown sugar), vinegar, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add spinach, watercress, strawberries and chives; toss to coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates and top with pecans and goat cheese.

Tip: To toast chopped or sliced nuts, stir constantly in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
