Strawberry Arugula Salad with Candied Walnuts and Goat Cheese
Ingredients
- 6 cups baby arugula
- 1.5 cups strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 cup candied walnuts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Hull and slice the strawberries into thin rounds.
- Whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and salt in a small bowl until the dressing turns glossy and slightly thickened.
- Pile the arugula onto a wide platter.
- Scatter the sliced strawberries over the greens.
- Add the goat cheese and candied walnuts over the top.
- Drizzle with the dressing right before serving.
- Toss very gently, just twice through with tongs, so the strawberries keep their shape instead of bleeding into the cheese.
Good to Know
Slice the strawberries no more than an hour before serving; any earlier and they soften and lose their color against the cheese.
