What Makes This Strawberry Crunch Salad a Standout?

This salad balances flavor and texture masterfully. Bright, juicy strawberries mingle with peppery greens and creamy cheese, while a sprinkle of nutty crunch adds depth.

It’s a salad that truly satisfies, offering a crowd-pleasing combination of flavors that feel indulgent but are surprisingly light.

Prepping Ingredients for Ultimate Crunch

The secret to maximum crunch is in preparation. Slice strawberries into even pieces for visual appeal and easy eating. Chop the nuts and make the crispy topping just before serving, preserving their texture and flavor.

For perfectly uniform vegetables and a speedy prep, try using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. It makes quick work of even the toughest ingredients—resulting in a beautiful, consistent salad every time.

How to Make the Champagne Vinaigrette

A stellar vinaigrette is the heart of this salad. The gently effervescent taste of champagne vinegar is mellowed with a touch of honey for subtle sweetness, while Dijon mustard adds body and garlic rounds out the flavor.

Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a jar or blend them for extra creaminess. The Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender whips up the perfect dressing in seconds, ensuring a silky, well-emulsified finish.

Assembling and Serving for Freshness

Toss salad greens, strawberries, cheese, and nuts together right before serving to maintain each ingredient’s integrity. Once you’re ready, drizzle the salad with champagne vinaigrette and toss lightly.

If bringing this salad to an outdoor event or lunch, keep everything crisp with a Bentgo Salad Container. Its separate compartments prevent sogginess, so you enjoy peak freshness wherever you are.
