Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by making the balsamic glaze. Pour 1 cup of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir to combine.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar has reduced by half and the mixture has thickened into a glaze. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 3
Meanwhile, wash and dry the mixed salad greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Rinse the strawberries, hull them, and slice them thinly. Add the sliced strawberries to the salad bowl.
Step 5
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Let them cool and then add them to the salad.
Step 6
Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 8
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 9
Just before serving, drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the top of the salad for added flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh mixed green salad with balsamic glaze!
