The combination of fresh, sweet strawberries and a rich balsamic glaze gives this light and refreshing salad an almost dessert-like quality. However, the peppery arugula and the salty Feta cheese balance out the sweetness, while the pecans add a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
- 2 cup. Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 cup. arugula
- 1-pint fresh strawberries, trimmed and quartered
- 3 oz. Feta cheese
- ½ cup. pecan halves
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup. balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Add the Romaine lettuce, arugula, strawberries, Feta cheese, and pecans to a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and drizzle with olive oil. Gently toss to combine and set aside.
- To make the balsamic glaze, heat the balsamic vinegar over medium-high heat until it begins to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring continually, until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 of its original volume, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly before drizzling over the salad. Transfer the salad to individual salad bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy!
