The method

Step by step

1
In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh spinach, cantaloupe chunks, halved strawberries, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and black olives.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Be gentle when adding the ingredients to avoid bruising the spinach or breaking the cheese and fruit.
2
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper.
About 3 min
3
Whisk the dressing ingredients together until well combined, or seal the jar and shake vigorously.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Shaking the dressing in a jar is a quick way to emulsify the oil and lemon juice.
4
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl just before serving.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Dressing the salad at the last minute prevents the spinach from becoming soggy.
5
Toss the salad gently until everything is lightly coated with the dressing.
About 1 min
6
Serve immediately and enjoy.
