Wash and dry the arugula thoroughly, and set it aside.
Rinse the strawberries, hull them, and slice them thinly.
In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by half and becomes a thick glaze. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn. Once golden and fragrant, remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the arugula and sliced strawberries. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat.
Season the salad with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Divide the salad onto individual plates or a serving platter.
Top with toasted slivered almonds, shaved Parmesan cheese (if using), and drizzle liberally with the balsamic glaze.
Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing, wholesome salad.
