Ingredients
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 English cucumber, chopped
1/2 small cantaloupe, peeled and chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
2/3 cup fresh dill, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups baby spinach (about 4 ounces)
1/3 cup mustard vinaigrette (see directions)
Soak the red onion in cold water, 10 minutes; drain and pat dry.
Directions
- Combine the onion, strawberries, cucumber, cantaloupe and dill in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Let stand until the cucumber is juicy, about 10 minutes.
- Add the spinach and vinaigrette to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Mustard Vinaigrette
- Whisk 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup olive oil, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth. Add more salt and pepper to taste. (Makes about 1 cup.)
