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. Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chopped shallot, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Combine the greens: In a large bowl, combine the arugula or spinach, Italian parsley (or basil), sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Gently fold in the hulled and sliced strawberries.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Top with crumbled feta cheese.

Notes

For best results, serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container, keeping dressing separate if possible.
