Strawberry and Feta Salad with Honey-Yogurt Dressing

Gardening blogger Barbara Pleasant counts this as her favorite salad, one that changes with the season. In the spring, strawberries go well with feta. In the fall, pears pair with blue cheese.

Serves 2

Honey-Yogurt Dressing

2 Tbsp plain yogurt
2 Tbsp mayonnaise or veggie mayo
1 tsp honey
1 tsp rice vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Salad

2 cups fresh salad greens
1 cup fresh sliced strawberries
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup chopped, toasted almonds or walnuts

1. For the dressing, mix the yogurt, mayo, honey and rice vinegar together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Arrange the greens on two salad plates and top with strawberries and feta. Drizzle with the dressing, sprinkle with chopped nuts and serve.
