Instructions

Make the balsamic vinaigrette. Add the oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper to a small bowl or jar. Whisk the ingredients together until emulsified or cover the jar with a lid and shake until combined.
Assemble the salad. Add the salad greens to a large serving bowl. Top with sliced strawberries, red onion, sliced almonds and goat cheese.
Pour the dressing. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette dressing on top of the salad, then toss to combine.

Notes

If you don’t have spring mix, you can swap in arugula or spinach.
For the cheese, feta is a great alternative, or you can skip it entirely to keep the salad dairy-free.
If you don’t have balsamic vinegar, a simple lemon vinaigrette works just as well for a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
