For the Balsamic Strawberries:

• 2 cups strawberries, tops removed, halved or quartered
• 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar

For the Balsamic Vinaigrette:

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced shallot
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon pink salt
• 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup olive oil

For the Salad:

1. 5 ounces baby arugula leaves
2. Balsamic strawberries
3. 4 ounce feta cheese
4. 1/2 cup walnuts
5. 1/2 small shallot, thinly sliced
6. 3-4 mint leaves, chiffonade
7. Balsamic vinaigrette

Directions:

1. To make the balsamic strawberries, place cut strawberries into a small bowl and toss with balsamic vinegar. Set aside. (Vinegar helps bring out the sweetness in berries!)
