Arugula Strawberry Salad
This Arugula Strawberry Salad pairs peppery arugula with thinly sliced strawberries, red onion, diced avocado, and crunchy nuts like pine nuts and walnuts. The salad is tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette with garlic, lemon juice, maple syrup, and poppy seeds, combining sweet, tangy, and savory flavors balanced by creamy goat cheese or feta. The mixture of textures and fresh ingredients makes it a bright, refreshing salad suited as a starter or side.
