Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup granola or crispy cereal (for crunchiness)
- ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- ¼ cup honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- ¼ cup champagne vinaigrette
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by washing and hulling your fresh strawberries. Slice them into halves or quarters depending on your preferred bite size. Place the strawberries in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the champagne vinaigrette and lemon juice to create a tangy dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the sliced strawberries and gently toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for about 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the granola, chopped nuts, and honey (if using) over the salad. Toss gently to combine without losing the crunch.
- Finish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately to enjoy the maximum crunch and freshness.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh strawberries and crunchy granola.
- Prepare the strawberries and dressing ahead of time; add crunchy toppings just before serving to maintain crispness.
- You can customize the toppings with dried fruits, toasted coconut, or seed mixes for a variety of textures.
