Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries
- 3 large celery stalks
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 0.5 cups feta cheese
- 0.5 cups walnuts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Rinse the celery stalks thoroughly. Using a knife, trim the ends and slice the celery into thin diagonal slices.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced strawberries, and celery.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly before adding to the bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad mixture.
In a small bowl or jar, prepare the dressing by whisking together the honey, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the honey dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine and coat all ingredients evenly.
