Salad Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg white until frothy. Add the pecan halves and toss to coat well. Sprinkle evenly with spice blend and toss to coat well.
Spread pecans in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake, stirring once or twice until browned, crisp, and well-toasted, approx.12 minutes.
While pecans are toasting, whisk together the strawberry preserves, vinegar, water, salt, and black pepper. Whisk in oil in a slow and steady stream until incorporated.
To serve, plate the spinach onto a serving platter. Top with spiced pecans, green onions, and feta cheese. Drizzle with the strawberry vinaigrette.
