Number Of Ingredients 15

STRAWBERRY SALAD
spinach, fresh
blue cheese crumbles
strawberries roughly chopped
CANDIED WALNUTS
1/4 c walnuts, chopped
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp water
STRAWBERRY VINAIGRETTE
5-6 large strawberries, chopped
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh squeeze
pinch coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. For the salad, add your fresh greens to your salad bowl. You can make this as one big salad or individual ones. I roughly chop the strawberry's and add to the greens. Sprinkle with blue cheese.
  • 2. For the candied walnuts, place the brown sugar in a sauté pan, slowly melt the sugar and add water. Once sugar melted add the walnuts (you can also use almonds) and sauté for a minute or so. Then remove from heat. Top your salad with these. FYI, if they sit they will harden.
  • 3. For the strawberry vinaigrette, add all ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour desired amount over salad and toss.
