Preparing the Strawberry Crunch Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette is easy. Here’s how you can make it:

1. Prepare the Greens: Rinse the mixed salad greens under cool water and thoroughly dry them using a salad spinner or by patting them down with a clean towel.
2. Slice the Strawberries: Hull and slice the fresh strawberries, placing them into a large mixing bowl.
3. Toast the Nuts: If you prefer toasted nuts, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the nuts and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring until they turn golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat.
4. Combine Ingredients: In the large mixing bowl with the strawberries, add the salad greens, toasted nuts, feta or goat cheese (if using), and sliced red onion.
5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the champagne vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Start with half of the dressing and toss gently to combine. Add more dressing to taste.
6. Serve Immediately: Once everything is well mixed, transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates for serving.

These straightforward steps ensure that you can create a delicious Strawberry Crunch Salad quickly and effortlessly.
