Vegan strawberry spinach salad with hazelnuts

Strawberry spinach salad with caramelized hazelnuts, sounds delicious, right? I am definitely a big fan of this and love the combination of sweet strawberries and tender baby spinach. This recipe is just right for when you need it fast. Normally, strawberries are used more in sweet dishes and not so much in salads. But I find them extremely fine in combination with spinach. The balsamic dressing is just perfect with it and the caramelized hazelnuts add the finishing touch. Well, did you get a craving for this very special salad? Then let’s get started together.

Fruity vegan salads

Let’s take a detailed look at this lovely salad. I make sure the strawberries are organic, as I do with most of the food I buy. The spinach should be a baby spinach variety, or a very fresh young spinach. Once the leaves are too large, they are not easily chewed and may have a bitter aftertaste. Add to this my tried and true balsamic dressing made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, salt and pepper.

To give the salad a special touch, I top it with caramelized hazelnuts. How do I do it? Coarsely chop a handful of hazelnuts and toast in a small skillet over medium heat. Once the nuts start to become fragrant and lightly brown, I add the maple syrup. Now just wait for the liquid in the maple syrup to evaporate and the nuts to caramelize. Ready!

TIP: It is not necessary to use hazelnuts for the salad. I can also imagine pecans or walnuts very well in this dish. What do you think? I look forward to hearing your thoughts at the very bottom of the comments.

How healthy are actually hazelnuts?

Nuts in general are very healthy and I love them in all forms and variations. I find hazelnuts especially delicious because they smell so incredibly good when you roast them. But that’s not all, because they also have health benefits. Here I have summarized the most important points for you:

  • The lecithin content of nuts has a positive effect on memory performance
  • Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can have a positive effect on cholesterol levels
  • Very good supplier of B vitamins (vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, B7 and B9)
  • Rich in vitamin E, which has an anti-inflammatory effect and a positive effect on the immune system
  • Rich in valuable proteins
  • Supply important minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron

Ideal with this salad are homemade spelt bread, wholemeal rolls or the gluten-free buckwheat bread.
