About Strawberry Salad with Honey Balsamic Dressing
Strawberries and salad greens are an amazing combo.
For this strawberry salad you can use any greens you like. If you have lettuce growing in your garden snip a bunch and use it in the salad. Simple recipes like this one are even better when you use the best ingredients that you can get your hands on.
About the Ingredients in this Salad
Similar versions of this salad use candied nuts like pecans as a topper. I have enough sugar in my life so I’m using raw pecans. Just a few handfuls of crunchy pecans, a sprinkle of creamy raw feta goat cheese and some fresh red onions will do. The salad is then drizzled with honey balsamic dressing.
Salad Topping Ideas
You can definitely make this salad into a simple lunch or dinner by topping it with grilled chicken or seafood if you wish. Another option, is to get all fancy by having a strawberry themed meal.
