Ingredients
For the Creamy Maple Dijon Dressing
- ⅓ cup vegan mayo prepared or homemade
- 1/4 cup grainy Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For The Salad
- 8 cups about 5 oz spring mix or butter lettuce
- 1 lb fresh strawberries hulled
- 1 cup crumbled vegan feta storebought or homemade
- ½ cup toasted pistachios
- ¼ cup microgreens or fresh chiffonade basil
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Make the Creamy Maple Dijon Dressing:
- Whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust. It should be tangy with a gentle sweetness. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
To make strawberry fans:
- Place the strawberry on its side with the tip pointing away from you. Using a paring knife, make 3 or 4 lengthwise cuts toward the tip, stopping about a half inch before the end so the strawberry stays connected. Then press gently to fan the slices out.
Assemble:
- Pile the greens onto a large platter or into a wide shallow bowl. Lay the strawberry fans on top, here and there. Scatter the feta across, don't be shy. Sprinkle on the pistachios. Grind some fresh black pepper over everything and serve the dressing on the side. Garnish with microgreens or chiffonade basil.
