This Strawberry Crunch Salad is a perfect combination of fresh flavors and textures. The crunchy almonds, creamy avocado, tangy goat cheese, and sweet strawberries are tossed together with a delicious champagne vinaigrette. It’s a refreshing and satisfying salad that’s ideal for spring and summer.

Ingredients

Salad:

  • ⅔ cup sliced or slivered almonds
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 10 ounces arugula greens
  • 8 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered or chopped
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • ⅓ cup roasted salted pistachios, chopped

Champagne Vinaigrette:

  • 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, freshly grated
  • pinch kosher salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sugared Almonds: Place the almonds in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and cook, stirring often, until the sugar melts and caramelizes, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the almonds to parchment paper to cool, breaking them into pieces if needed.
  2. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, toss the arugula with salt and pepper. Add the strawberries, avocado, goat cheese, pistachios, and sugared almonds. Drizzle the champagne vinaigrette over the salad and toss well. Serve immediately.
  3. Prepare the Champagne Vinaigrette: In a large bowl, combine vinegar, honey, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk together and slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to one week.
