Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
  • 4 cups mixed spring greens
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese (plant-based), crumbled
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and slice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces so they are ready to mingle evenly throughout the salad.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Cook the smoked turkey bacon until perfectly crisp, then chop it into small pieces to sprinkle over the salad for that essential crunchy, smoky element.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), olive oil (natural), honey (natural), Dijon mustard (natural), salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Toss the Greens: Place the mixed spring greens in a large salad bowl and toss with the freshly made dressing to lightly coat every leaf.
  5. Assemble the Salad: Add the sliced strawberries, chopped smoked turkey bacon, toasted almonds, and crumbled plant-based cheese (plant-based) to the dressed greens, then gently toss everything one last time.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries and crisp mixed greens for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Lightly toast the almonds in a dry pan to enhance their aroma and crunch.
  • Toss greens with dressing just before serving to keep them crisp.
  • Adjust the honey and apple cider vinegar in the dressing to balance sweetness and tanginess to your preference.
  • Keep strawberries and cooked bacon refrigerated until serving to maintain a refreshing temperature contrast.
