  • 8 ounces strawberries (hulled and quartered)
  • 1 avocado (chopped)
  • 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • â…“ cup roasted salted pistachios (chopped)
  • â…” cup sliced almonds
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/2 lemon (juiced)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove (freshly grated)
  • Pinch kosher salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the almonds: In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add sliced almonds along with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Stir gently for about 6 to 8 minutes until the almonds are golden and beautifully caramelized. Transfer them onto parchment paper to cool.
  2. Toss the arugula: In a large bowl, generously toss the fresh arugula with a pinch of kosher salt and a dash of pepper.

  4. Whisk the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the champagne vinegar, honey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, dijon mustard, grated garlic, and another pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
  5. Emulsify the dressing: While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  6. Drizzle and serve: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving, giving it a gentle toss to coat all the ingredients.
