1/3 cup toasted walnuts (roughly 1.5 ounces)
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Wash the arugula thoroughly under cold water and pat dry or use a salad spinner.
Hull and slice strawberries into quarters or halves based on their size.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
In a large bowl, gently toss arugula, sliced strawberries, toasted walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese to combine without bruising the berries.
