A delightfully refreshing and invigorating summer salad with fresh strawberries, arugula, feta cheese, and crunchy walnuts – an unmatched flavor combination!
There’s nothing I love more than a salad with fruity elements! This strawberry salad is an unquestionable must-try! You will absolutely love it!
Ingredients
Only a few simple everyday ingredients are required to prepare the arugula strawberry feta salad:
- Lettuce: Use any leafy greens of your choice. A pre-packed spring mix (salad blend) would also taste particularly delicious.
- Arugula: Select produce that is as fresh and crisp-looking as possible; no bruising or yellow bits. With its light but pleasant pungency, arugula complements our recipe’s other flavor notes beautifully.
- Strawberries: As with the arugula above, the same rule applies. Ensure that the strawberries you pick are fresh and not bruised.
- Feta Cheese: Either feta cheese, goat cheese, or something similar. Whichever you prefer.
- Walnuts: Chopped walnuts are the way to go here. Eliminate the need to process whole walnuts further. 😉
Served with a super simple yet mighty delicious vinegar-oil dressing, et violà…done! Easy enough, right? No elbow grease required here. 😉
Recipe Tips
Although the strawberry arugula salad with feta is extremely easy in terms of preparation, here are a few additional tips for you to lean on:
- I would strongly encourage tearing your lettuce (arugula included) into bite-sized pieces for easier consumption. You’ll thank me later. 😉
- The salad is best enjoyed freshly made. Preparing the salad ahead of time for meal prep is not recommended. It’ll turn to mush pretty quickly, lose its crunch, and just won’t taste as good anymore. 😉
- Of course, you may store any leftovers of the arugula feta strawberry salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
- The recipe yields 2 slightly larger side salads or 3-4 smaller portions.
