Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Mixed salad greens (e.g., arugula, baby spinach, or mesclun mix)
- 1 cup Strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Goat cheese, crumbled (Dutch-style or plain)
- 0.25 cup Pecans, toasted
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil, extra virgin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens thoroughly, then place them in a large serving bowl.
Prepare the strawberries by hulling and slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the bowl along with the blueberries.
Thinly slice the cucumber and add it to the salad as well.
Crumble the goat cheese into small chunks and scatter it evenly over the salad.
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Allow the pecans to cool slightly, then add them to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper until fully combined to form the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, tossing lightly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Summer Salad with Goat Cheese Dutch!
