Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, champagne vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, candied pecans, red onion, and goat cheese.
Drizzle the champagne vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
You can substitute feta cheese if goat cheese isn’t available.
Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
Store vinaigrette separately if making ahead of time.
