Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups spring salad mix (baby spinach, arugula, or mixed greens)
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced into heart shapes
- 1/2 cup roasted pecans
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
Dressing
- Champagne vinaigrette (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Cut a ‘V’ shape into the top of the strawberries to remove the stem and leaves, then slice the strawberries into heart shapes.
- Arrange Greens: Place the spring salad mix evenly on a serving plate as the base of the salad.
- Add Toppings: Scatter the heart-shaped strawberries, roasted pecans, and crumbled goat cheese over the greens.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Champagne vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and gently toss to combine all ingredients without bruising the greens.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately for optimal freshness and enjoyment.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and appearance.
- Choose high-quality goat cheese to enhance creaminess and taste.
- Toasting the pecans before adding them intensifies their flavor and adds crunch.
- Dress the salad just before serving to keep the greens crisp and fresh.
