Ingredients
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 medium orange, juiced (about 1/3 cup)
1 tsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
5 oz spring mix
8 oz strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 oz goat cheese crumbles
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
In a large bowl, combine spring mix and strawberries.
Toss the salad with 2-3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Top with goat cheese crumbles and sliced almonds before serving.
Notes
Apple cider vinegar is used instead of champagne or white wine vinegar to adhere to dietary restrictions.
For nuts, substitute with pecans, walnuts, or omit for a gluten-free option.
For fruit, try pears, apples, or dried cranberries if strawberries are unavailable.
Salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 hours.
