- 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
- Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh spinach leaves, sliced mango, and blueberries. If you like, add thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped pecans or walnuts for additional flavor and texture.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the dressing is well emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Toss and Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to ensure all components are evenly coated. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- For a vegan version, omit feta cheese and substitute honey with maple syrup.
- Toasts nuts before adding to the salad for extra crunch and flavor.
- Use fresh, ripe mango for the best sweetness and texture.
- The salad is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored refrigerated for up to a day without dressing.
- Adjust the amount of honey and mustard in the dressing to match your preferred taste balance.
