Green Salad w/ Strawberries, Walnuts & Red Onions
Adding fresh berries, strawberries in this case, to a green salad adds sweetness and acidity. Just a handful of ingredients come together into a light, spring salad.
Serves 4
6 -7 cups tender lettuce like oak leaf or butter lettuce, washed, dried and torn
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
1/4 cup very thinly sliced red onion
2/3 cup strawberries, quartered
Vinaigrette
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard (optional)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme
1. Put salad ingredients in a serving bowl. Put all dressing ingredients in a pint jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well until emulsified. Taste and adjust with more vinegar and/or salt or whatever else you think it needs. It should be bright and strongly flavored.
2. Dress salad with about half the dressing, taste and adjust as needed. Reserve remainder of the dressing for another salad.
