Ingredients

For Salad

  • 5 ounces Mixed Salad Greens
  • 1 pound Strawberries sliced
  • 3 medium Radish sliced
  • ½ cup Red Onion sliced
  • cup Celery Stalk sliced
  • cup Pistachio

Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • A Pinch of Salt
  • Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

Instructions

  • To assemble the salad, layer the salad greens on serving platter or in a shallow bowl.
  • Layer the sliced strawberries followed by sliced radish, red onion, celery and pistachios.
  • Now, in a small bowl combine all the ingredients for dressing and whisk well until blended.
  • Just before when you are ready to serve the salad, drizzle the vinaigrette and toss. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crunchy veggies, soak your onion, radish and celery in ice cold water for a few minutes. Drain thoroughly before adding to the salad!
  • For milder onion flavor, soak the onion slices in cold water for 20-30 minutes or drizzle with an acidic element like lemon or vinegar. That will leech out some of the more pungent flavor compounds.
  • For best results, ensure all veggies and fruit are nice and cold. Warm vegetables have a tendency to become limp.
  • If you prefer to meal prep, feel free to assemble the salad and the dressing ahead of time and store them separately. Dress the salad only just before serving to prevent wilting.
