Strawberry Spinach Salad

Happy Fourth of July! 

When I first heard about this salad, I wasn't sure I would like it. Strawberries in a salad? With Feta? It sounded strange, but not exactly delicious.

But then I tried it. And the salad was delicious! 

Somehow, all of the flavors (yes, even the candied pecans) work together to make something tasty. Plus, it's red, white, blue, and summery! :)
