Ingredients
Salad
- 1 head red leaf lettuce
- 1 head green lettuce
- 1/2 fennel bulb thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- 1 pint strawberry washed, hulled, and sliced (about 1 1/2 to 2 cups
- 1/2 cup walnuts candied
- 2-4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
Dressing
- 1 cup strawberry washed, hulled, and sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon onion finely chopped, or shallot
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 2 teaspoons thyme fresh
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Chop the lettuces and wash them well to remove any dirt or grit. Spin in a salad spinner to remove excess water and get the lettuce nice and crispy.
- Slice the fennel, red onion, and strawberries, then sprinkle over the top of the lettuce in a serving bowl. Top with candied walnuts and crumbled goat cheese. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the strawberries until pureed. Add all remaining vinaigrette ingredients and pulse again until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Dressing is best used the same day, but can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
