Baby Spinach with Apples and Strawberry-Ginger Glaze

For the Salad Bed:

• 3 cups baby spinach leaves
• 1/2 of a Red Delicious apple, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh picked strawberries, diced small
• When at all possible, choose organic

For the glaze:

• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons strawberry all-fruit jam (such as Polaner)
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger root, very finely diced
• Pinch of kosher salt

1. Prepare your glaze by combining all the ingredients in a small saucepan over lowest possible temperature, and stir constantly until liquefied (about 2-3 minutes). Allow to sit at room temperature to cool slightly and incorporate the flavors.
2. Arrange salad onto a plate, and drizzle with the glaze.
