Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh ripe strawberries, sliced into halves or quarters
  • 4 cups mixed baby greens
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, toasted
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (natural)
  • 1 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (natural)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Thoroughly wash the strawberries and mixed baby greens. Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters depending on their size. Thinly slice the red onion and roughly chop the fresh mint leaves. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts until fragrant, then set aside to cool.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp but still tender. Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil, then crumble or slice into bite-sized pieces ready for mixing into the salad.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), olive oil (natural), honey (natural), and Dijon mustard (natural) until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the balance, adding a pinch of salt if desired.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby greens, strawberries, red onion, toasted walnuts, and cooked smoked turkey bacon. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the crumbled plant-based cheese and fresh mint leaves on top just before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overdress the salad; add dressing gradually to avoid overwhelming delicate ingredients.
  • Toast nuts carefully to avoid burning and to enhance their flavor.
  • Prepare and wash ingredients ahead of time to speed up assembly.
  • Serve the salad immediately to maintain the freshness and crispness of the greens.
