Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Fresh strawberries, sliced Use ripe but firm berries; hull and slice into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled Crumble or break into irregular pieces; goat cheese can substitute
  • 4 cups Mixed greens (spinach, arugula) Use a mix of tender spinach and peppery arugula for balance
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic glaze Use store-bought glaze or reduce balsamic for thicker coating
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts, chopped (optional) Toast briefly for extra flavor; see nut alternatives
  • To taste Salt and pepper Adjust lightly because feta contributes saltiness

Method
 

Combine Ingredients
  1. Combine the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, and crumbled feta cheese in a large bowl, gently.
  2. Drizzle with balsamic glaze over the salad and toss gently to ensure even coating throughout.
Finish and Serve
  1. Sprinkle chopped walnuts evenly over the salad if desired for added crunch and texture before serving.
  2. Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting gradually as you sample.
  3. Serve the Strawberry Feta Summer Salad immediately as a refreshing side dish for summer gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Notes

Use ripe but firm strawberries to avoid excess moisture and combine components just before serving to maintain freshness.
