Ingredients

Apple Cider Vinaigrette

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Salt and pepper

Walnut Strawberry Salad

5 ounces of mixed salad greens
1 pint fresh strawberries hulled, rinsed and sliced
1 cup candied walnuts
8 ounces Mozzarella cheese balls

Instructions

In a small dish or jar, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside while preparing the salad.
Place the salad greens in a large bowl. Add the sliced strawberries, candied walnuts, and Mozzarella cheese.
Pour ½ of the vinaigrette dressing over the salad and toss. Add additional dressing as desired.

Notes

White or red wine vinegar and a white balsamic are other options for this simple salad dressing.
You can add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the vinaigrette for a more complex flavor. Dijon will also help the dressing emulsify easier.
If making this salad in advance, do not add the salad dressing until ready to toss and serve.
If you want to make extra vinaigrette, the dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Poppy seed dressing and Ranch dressing also go well with this salad.
