Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried

1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and drying the arugula. Hull the strawberries, then slice them thinly. If you haven’t already, toast the sliced almonds by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.

    Mix the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh arugula, sliced strawberries, and red onion. Gently toss to distribute the ingredients evenly.

      Add the Cheese and Nuts: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted almonds over the salad.

        Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinaigrette and honey (if using). Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the arugula and strawberries are coated.

            Serve: Transfer the salad to individual plates or leave it in the bowl for guests to serve themselves. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness!
