Ingredients

  • 2 cups Florida strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 4 cups mixed greens or arugula
  • 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or almonds
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional, but very Florida)

For the Citrus Honey Vinaigrette

  • 3 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1 tbsp local honey
  • 1 tbsp white balsamic or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions

In a large bowl, gently toss the greens with the sliced strawberries, then sprinkle in the cheese, nuts, and avocado. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients in a small jar until smooth and emulsified, then drizzle it over the salad just before serving, tossing lightly to coat everything evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Florida Tip

  • Add grilled shrimp or chicken to make it a main course.
  • Fresh mint also pairs beautifully.
