Ingredients
  

Salad Base
  • 2 cups Fresh Strawberries, sliced For natural sweetness and vibrant color
  • 4 cups Mixed Greens Provides a nutrient-rich base
Topping
  • 1 cup Toasted Almonds Adds a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled Gives a creamy texture and tangy taste
Dressing
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar Enhances flavor with its rich, tangy profile
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Balances the acidity of vinegar with natural sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness and helps emulsify the dressing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them into quarters.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and sliced strawberries.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil until well blended.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until all ingredients are coated.
  5. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and feta cheese on top just before serving to maintain their crunch.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the strawberries in honey for 10-15 minutes before adding. Store dressing separately until ready to serve for meal prep.
