Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens (spring mix or baby spinach)
  • ¾ cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about five minutes until they smell nutty and turn slightly darker. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard. Add salt and pepper, whisk until emulsified.
  3. Hull and slice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large serving bowl, combine salad greens, sliced strawberries, crumbled feta, thinly sliced red onion, and cooled walnuts.
  5. Drizzle dressing over the salad just before serving, toss gently, and serve immediately.

Notes

Dress the salad right before serving to prevent wilting. Store components separately if preparing ahead.
