Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

4 cups mixed salad greens (baby spinach, arugula, and romaine)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or goat cheese)

1/2 cup sliced almonds (toasted for extra crunch)

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette (store-bought or homemade)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 avocado, diced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly, then hull and slice them. Set them aside in a bowl.

    Toast the Almonds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toss the sliced almonds for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

      Mix Salad Greens: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens (baby spinach, arugula, and romaine). This will serve as the base for your salad.

        Add Strawberries and Cheese: Gently add the sliced strawberries on top of the greens, followed by the crumbled feta cheese.

          Incorporate Onions and Basil: Scatter the thinly sliced red onion and chopped fresh basil over the salad for added flavor and freshness.

            Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad, adjusting the amount based on your personal taste. Lightly toss the salad to ensure everything is evenly coated.

              Finish with Salt and Pepper: Season with salt and pepper to taste, giving it a final gentle toss.

                Optional Avocado Touch: If you prefer, add the diced avocado just before serving for an extra creamy texture.

                  Serve: Transfer the salad to individual plates or keep it in the large bowl. Enjoy immediately for a fresh and delightful taste!
