Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the pita bread into quarters and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Wash and dry the baby spinach thoroughly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh spinach with sliced ripe strawberries.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad mix and fold gently.
Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
Fill each toasted pita cup with the salad mixture.
Optional: Garnish with additional slices of strawberries or nuts.

Notes

Assemble the cups just before serving to keep them crisp. Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts on the strawberries. Homemade balsamic vinaigrette is quick to prepare.
