🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, gently wash and dry 6 ounces of mixed greens. I like using a mix with some baby spinach for extra nutrients, but honestly, whatever looks good at the market will work! Make sure you get rid of any wilty bits.
- Hull and slice 1 pound of fresh strawberries. If they are really big, halve or quarter them so there are bitesize pieces. I like leaving a few whole for garnish, because, why not?
- Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese. If you’re feeling fancy, use a block of good-quality feta and crumble it yourself – the flavor is so much better. I find it's a bit more 'sharp'.
- Prepare the balsamic vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or honey, if you prefer), 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. This is *your* salad, after all!
- Now, the fun part! In a large bowl or on a platter, arrange the mixed greens as a base. Scatter the sliced strawberries and crumbled feta over the greens. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
- If you are feeling *extra*, add a sprinkle of toasted almonds or walnuts for a bit of crunch, or even some fresh basil leaves for an herby twist. Serve immediately and enjoy this burst of flavor!
- Hey, don't forget to pat yourself on the back. Look what you made, that's so awesome.
📝 Notes
