Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Crunch Salad
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine two cups of sliced almonds with a quarter cup of sugar. Stir constantly for about 6–8 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Transfer to parchment paper and cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, add 4-5 cups of arugula greens, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to ensure even coating.
- To the bowl, add 2 cups of sliced strawberries, 1 diced avocado, and 0.5 cups of crumbled goat cheese. Sprinkle in 0.5 cups of pistachios and stir gently to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together a third of a cup of champagne vinegar, 2 tablespoons of honey, the juice of one lemon, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Add minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Slowly drizzle in 0.5 cups of olive oil while whisking until emulsified.
- Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.

Notes
