Greek Strawberry Salad

One of my favorite salads to eat is a Greek one with lots of strawberries. I've only had it at a few restaurants, so I decided to make my own version of it at home. This strawberry salad is so simple to make and perfect for a hot summer day.

Ingredients:

Fresh baby greens

Feta cheese crumbles

1 cup fresh sliced strawberries

spiced walnuts (recipe follows)

red wine vinaigrette (recipe follows)

1. Top fresh baby greens with a handful of feta cheese crumbles, sliced strawberries and a handful of spiced walnuts. Toss together.

2. Drizzle red wine vinaigrette onto salad and serve.

Spiced walnuts:

A handful of walnuts, roughly chopped

1 egg white

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 tablespoon nutmeg

1. Spread walnuts evenly on a foiled-lined round baking pan.

2. Whisk together egg white and sugar. Drizzle over walnuts; toss to evenly coat.

3. Sprinkle walnuts with cinnamon and nutmeg and toss.

4. Bake on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool.

Red Wine Vinaigrette:

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

1. In a bowl, whisk red wine vinegar and slowly drizzle in olive oil. Whisk until the two ingredients are combined and are creamy.

2. Sprinkle in salt and pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon of each) and whisk into vinaigrette.
