Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts roughly chopped
- 5 ounces spring mix salad greens
- 8 ounces fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 cup red onion sliced (optional)
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- A few fresh basil leaves optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Toast the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the spring mix, sliced strawberries, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure an even coating. Next, add the crumbled feta and cooled walnuts, and then toss lightly once more.
- Garnish with a few fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
