Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Fresh strawberries, sliced Use ripe but firm berries; hull and slice into bite-sized pieces

  • 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

Notes

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