Spinach & Fruit Salad

To make the best ever strawberry spinach salad you're going to start by making

your brioche croutons. For this you need half loaf of brioche which we're then

going to cut into about half inch cubes. The best way to do that is to lie the

loaf on its side and cut half inch slices then just stack them back up

together and make half inch slices again so you've now got like finger sized

strips and then you're just gonna slice those horizontally into cubes. Then

transfer the cubes to a baking tray and drizzle with the oil, toss really well

and level out. Transfer to the oven and bake at 180 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit

for about 9 to 10 minutes until they are deep golden and crispy all over. You can

of course make these croutons much earlier in the day. Next we're gonna make

the honey mustard dressing. We're gonna combine the extra virgin olive oil, the

white wine vinegar, your honey, your Dijon mustard and a little salt and pepper to

taste and then we're just gonna whisk it up really well until it's lovely and

combined, smooth and glossy. Next we're gonna chop up our walnuts. You can either

do that by putting them in a resealable bag and bashing them with a meat mallet

or rolling pin or you can use a mini food chopper. Just do short sharp pulses

so you don't get too much of that walnutty dust that you can see

forming there. Next assemble your salad so your spinach, strawberries, walnuts blueberries, your grapes followed by some of the dressing. Gently toss and

taste and then you can add more dressing to your liking or add the dressing to

the table and everyone can add more dressing to their taste. Then when you

come to serve, top with your grated cheese and your crispy brioche croutons
