Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh arugula, thoroughly washed and dried

2 cups ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced into thin rounds

1/2 cup creamy feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted for enhanced flavor

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced into rings

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey, preferably local

1/4 cup high-quality extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

In a spacious salad bowl, start by adding the freshly washed and dried arugula, then layer the sliced strawberries on top.

    Gently sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, toasted almonds, and thinly sliced red onion across the mixture.

      In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the balsamic vinegar and honey until fully blended. Gradually add the extra virgin olive oil while continuing to whisk. Taste the dressing and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

        Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture, ensuring all ingredients get a light coating. Use a gentle tossing motion to combine everything evenly, being careful not to bruise the strawberries.

          Before serving, take a moment to taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding a little extra salt, pepper, or honey to match your desired flavor profile.

            Serve immediately in individual bowls or on a serving platter, allowing guests to admire the vibrant colors and textures of this refreshing summer salad. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and savory!
