Equipment
- 1 Oven proof dish or baking sheet
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chopped almonds 30 g, 1 oz.
- 2-3 big handfuls of arugula 70 g, 2.5 oz.
- 1 cup bite sized strawberry slices or chunks 160 g, 5.5 oz.
- 1 cup diced cucumber 130 g, 4.5 oz.
- 1 ripe avocado
- 10 mint leaves
- ½ cup crumbled feta 75 g, 2.5 oz.
For the dressing
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 60 ml
- 1 Tbl red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp runny honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop and toast the almonds: Toast in a 350°F/180°C oven for 7–10 min or in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, for 3–5 min, until golden and fragrant.
- Prepare the salad: Wash and spin arugula if not already pre-washed. Cut strawberries, avocado, and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Crumble feta and tear mint leaves. Combine all in a large bowl or arrange in layers on a serving dish. Add the almonds.
- Make the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Lightly dress the salad right before serving, adjusting the amount to taste (you'll probably have some leftover).
- Serve and enjoy!
