This strawberry walnut salad is the perfect side salad or light lunch for spring and summer. Juicy strawberries, crunchy walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese are tossed with fresh greens and arugula, then drizzled in a simple homemade dressing. This recipe makes 8 side salads or 4 large lunch salads.
In a large bowl (or small side salad bowls) add chopped leaf lettuce and arugula. Top with sliced strawberries, feta cheese, onion, and walnuts.
In a bowl, add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
Just before ready to serve, toss salad in dressing until evenly coated. Serve immediately. Or, serve dressing on the side.
Notes
Recipe makes 8 side salads or 4 large lunch salads.
If making ahead, store salad ingredients separately and assemble just before serving.
If you plan to have leftover salad, I recommend serving dressing to the side. Once the greens have been dressed, salad will begin to wilt and does not store well.
