Spring in Texas is a lot like summer in some parts of the country which means bathing suit season is upon us. But strawberry season is actually here!

Temperatures are already reaching the 80s this week. So my go-to lunch of choice is getting a lighter and fruity update for spring with this easy spring mix salad recipe.

Not everyone is a fan of salad recipes but even those claiming that lettuce is for rabbits will fall in love with this salad.

Healthy eating is so much less challenging with easy recipes like this. They taste so delicious and come together in minutes!

Salad with strawberries is exactly what it sounds like. It’s full of fresh produce, but this strawberries spring mix has a couple of more ingredients that really set it apart.

Ingredients

• Spring Mix
• Fresh Strawberries
• Pecans
• Red Onions
• Feta Cheese or Goat Cheese
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Kosher Salt and Black Pepper

How to make Strawberry Salad

In a large bowl, add the spring mix, fresh sweet strawberries, crunchy pecans, thinly sliced red onion, and tangy feta cheese.

Lightly drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss to evenly coat the salad mix. You can also make your own balsamic vinaigrette by mixing by adding a little olive oil to the vinegar.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and it’s ready to serve! It’s really that easy to make this strawberry spring salad!

You don’t have to plan a special trip to the grocery store with this simple salad. There are so many different ways you can customize this strawberry salad with whatever you have on hand.

This is the perfect side dish, side salad, and healthy lunch. But, you could also make this into a complete meal by adding some chicken breast to this salad. If you’re in a rush rotisserie chicken makes an easy add-in! 

You can use different salad greens like baby spinach or leafy greens instead of spring mix. This can easily be turned into a spinach strawberry salad.

There’s even room to change up the cheeses. Creamy goat cheese or blue cheese would also be delicious additions.

Some of my favorite things to add a nice crunch to your salad are with sunflower seeds, candied walnuts, or poppy seeds. If you don’t have fresh strawberries, you could always add other fresh fruits. Fresh blueberries, mandarin oranges, creamy avocado, or dried cranberries would also all be tasty ways to mix up this summer salad recipe.

How do you cut strawberries for salad?

Before you cut strawberries, make sure you wash them in cold water first. Then, dry with paper towel.

To cut strawberries for salad, first, remove the top. Then slice horizontally into large chunks. Or, half again for smaller chunks. 

What dressing goes with strawberry salad?

Strawberry salad would do best with either a balsamic vinaigrette, strawberry vinaigrette, or poppy seed dressing. You can also use a drizzling of plain balsamic vinegar as an easy low cal dressing. Make sure to use a higher quality balsamic if you use it plain.
