Strawberry and feta salad is a mix of sweet, sour, salty and creamy gustation. It is a delicious summer salad that treats the taste buds. I like how the different flavors compliment the crisp lettuce and crunchy cucumbers. For this recipe we used almonds, but walnuts are good replacements as well.

 

Serves 5

Ingredients:

1 cup slivered almonds

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 cup raspberry vinegar

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 cup olive oil

1 head romaine lettuce, torn

1 medium sized cucumber, peeled, seeded and sliced

1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

 

Place a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the almonds in the skillet, around 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Next, prepare the dressing by combining the garlic, honey, raspberry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil and brown sugar in a medium sized bowl. Whisk until the sugar granules melt.

Combine the romaine lettuce, cucumbers, strawberries, feta cheese, garlic and toasted almonds in a large salad bowl. Drizzle it with the dressing. Gently toss before serving. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
