You\u2019ve seen brown butter in just about every kind of recipe, especially desserts, but have you ever tried brown butter in a salad dressing? Because it\u2019s amazing and kind of mind-blowing.<\/p>\n

The brown butter adds richness, unique flavor, and a velvety texture that you don\u2019t get with olive oil in a traditional vinaigrette. And it\u2019s the perfect topping for a salad filled with fresh spinach, sweet strawberries, pecans, and creamy feta cheese. It\u2019s both sweet and savory, and very fresh.<\/p>\n

Serve this strawberry salad all spring and summer long, as a side dish for parties, potlucks, and all kinds of gatherings. It\u2019s also great for Easter, other holidays, baby showers, brunches and more! You can even add a protein like chicken or salmon and enjoy it as a main dish too.<\/p>\n

How does a warm salad dressing work?<\/h2>\n

Since salads are typically made with refrigerated or room temperature ingredients, it may sound odd to add a warm topping.\u00a0Wouldn\u2019t the butter in the dressing just solidify when combined? Does the dressing wilt the spinach?<\/em>\u00a0And the answer is no! The warm dressing works so great here.<\/p>\n

The dressing will need to be used right away, or rewarmed if made in advance (which is so quick and easy to do!). And once you toss the salad, it should be enjoyed right away too, like most salads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s walk through this spinach strawberry salad, shall we?<\/p>\n
