When the summer sun is shining and fresh produce is in abundance, there’s nothing better than a refreshing salad that’s bursting with flavour.
Because of this, I wanted to share my favourite strawberry summer salad! It’s light, healthy and perfect for patio lunches, family dinners, or for a simple taste of the season. Sweet strawberries, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy almonds come together with a tangy balsamic dressing for a great meal that’s as beautiful as it is delicious!
Ingredients
- 5 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (or feta)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Dressing
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large salad bowl, layer the mixed greens, strawberries, goat cheese, almonds, and red onion.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy every bite of summer on a plate!
Whether you’re entertaining or treating yourself, this strawberry salad is a delicious way to celebrate the season. Enjoy!
