Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad
June is Strawberry Season!
Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad is the perfect summer salad made with savory goat cheese, fresh strawberries, candied pecans, baby greens and orange balsamic dressing.
This strawberry salad is so simple but looks fancy! The combination of savory from the goat cheese, sweet from the strawberries and slight bitter from the greens makes for a well-balanced salad. I use a combination of baby arugula and baby spinach for the greens and honey chevre that I discovered at Trader Joe’s. The orange balsamic dressing is light enough so that it doesn’t weigh down the freshness of this salad.
It’s perfect for brunch and easy enough for every day. Serve it as a side or as a main course. It is delicious as is or top it with grilled chicken for extra protein if you like a heartier meal.
