Calories: 386kcal
Ingredients
- 5 ounces arugula
- 16 ounces strawberries sliced
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 6 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large salad bowl or platter, layer the arugula, sliced strawberries, onion, goat cheese, and almonds.
- In a small bowl or mason jar, add the dressing ingredients and stir well until combined. I like to put the lid on a mason jar and shake it to combine the ingredients well.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss lightly, and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
