Ingredients
- 4 big handfuls of fresh arugula
- fresh strawberries, about 12, hulled and halved
- About 1/2 cup crumbled sheep's milk feta cheese
caramelized walnuts
- 1 cup walnut halves
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp butter
dressing
- 1/4 cup walnut oil or any oil you prefer
- 3 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp hot pepper flakes, or use more to your taste
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp Colemans mustard
- salt to taste
Instructions
- To make the caramel walnuts, put the nuts, sugar, butter, and salt into a small sauté pan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until everything melts and coats the walnuts. Turn them out onto parchment or foil to cool.
- Make the dressing by putting all the ingredients into a small jar and use an immersion blender to emulsify into a smooth dressing. You can also do this in a small food processor, or with a whisk, but an immersion blender is perfect. Be sure to taste the dressing to adjust the ingredients to your liking.
- To assemble the salad lay the arugula in a wide shallow salad bowl, and top with the strawberries. Crumble the feta over everything.
- Give the walnuts a rough chop and add them to the salad. Dress, toss, and serve.
Notes
- Don't dress this salad until the minute you are ready to serve. You might also consider serving the dressing on the side, for people to help themselves.
