Tips:

Select ripe and fresh strawberries: Choose strawberries that are plump, red, and have a sweet aroma. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots.
Use a variety of greens: A mix of greens, such as kale, spinach, arugula, or baby lettuces, adds texture and flavor to the salad.
Toast the nuts: Toasting nuts, such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts, enhances their flavor and adds a crunchy texture to the salad.
Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is a key component of the salad. Use a balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard is a good starting point.
Add some cheese: Cheese, such as crumbled feta, goat cheese, or Parmesan, adds a salty and creamy element to the salad.
Serve immediately: Strawberry kale salad is best enjoyed fresh. The strawberries and greens will wilt if they sit for too long.
