For the strawberry salad:
- 5 ounces spring salad mix
- 10 strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
For the balsamic vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make the balsamic vinaigrette. Add the oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper to a small bowl or jar. Whisk the ingredients together until emulsified or cover the jar with a lid and shake until combined.
- Assemble the salad. Add the salad greens to a large serving bowl. Top with sliced strawberries, red onion, sliced almonds, and goat cheese.
- Pour the dressing. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette dressing on top of the salad, then toss to combine.
Notes
- If you don’t have spring mix, you can swap in arugula or spinach.
- For the cheese, feta is a great alternative, or you can skip it entirely to keep the salad dairy-free.
- If you don’t have balsamic vinegar, a simple lemon vinaigrette works just as well for a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
