Ingredients needed to make Strawberry Feta Salad with Balsamic Glaze

• 2 c. Romaine lettuce, chopped
• 2 c. arugula
• 1-pint fresh strawberries, trimmed and quartered
• 3 oz. Feta cheese
• ½ c. pecan halves
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 c. balsamic vinegar

Instructions for making Strawberry Feta Salad with Balsamic Glaze

1. Add the Romaine lettuce, arugula, strawberries, Feta cheese and pecans to a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and drizzle with the olive oil. Gently toss to combine and set aside. 
2. To make the balsamic glaze, heat the balsamic vinegar over medium-high heat until it begins to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring continually, until the liquid is reduced to about ⅓ of its original volume, approximately 8-10 minutes. 
3. Remove from heat and cool slightly before drizzling over the salad. Transfer the salad to individual salad bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Variations

If you're looking for an easy and delicious variation on the classic Strawberry Feta Salad with Balsamic Glaze, look no further! Whether you choose to use pre-made balsamic glaze or whip up your own from scratch, there are plenty of ways to alter this tasty dish. You can swap out the Strawberries for another fruit like Blueberries or Cherries, add nuts such as Pecans or Almonds for crunch, or enhance the flavor with ingredients like Fresh Mint or Basil. In addition to substituting different fruits, adding crunchy elements, and seasoning the salad with herbs and spices, you can also keep things interesting by using different kinds of cheese instead of feta! This is just one recipe where you can feel free to experiment and have fun with your food. Bon Appétit!

Storage

For those days when it would be really convenient to make your strawberry feta salad with balsamic glaze ahead of time, storage might be a worry. But good news – you’ve got several days before the salad is no longer safe to eat! As long as you keep it in a sealed container and stored at less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the salad should stay fresh for 3-4 days. That being said, if you've added greens or other fresh ingredients, then it’s best to store the salad for just 2 days. With storage temperatures this low, any bacteria present can start to multiply and put you at risk of food poisoning so from storage until eating, always check your food has stayed cool and out of the danger zone!
