Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 810 ounces arugula or spinach greens (or a 50/50 mixture)
  • ½ cup Italian parsley leaves (tender stems are okay) or basil leaves
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber (English seedless or Persian cucumber preferred)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
  • ¼ cup sliced red onion
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Start by making the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chopped shallot, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  2. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, arugula (or spinach), Italian parsley (or basil), sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Gently toss everything together.
  5. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe strawberries. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, keeping the dressing separate.
