How to Make Arugula Salad With Berry Dressing

  1. **Make the Berry Dressing:** In a blender, combine ¾ cup (175g) fresh strawberries, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, and ½ teaspoon salt. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. **Chill the Dressing:** Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. **Prepare the Goat Cheese:** Place ½ cup (50g) chopped pecans or walnuts on a piece of waxed paper. Roll a 4-ounce (113g) log of goat cheese in the nuts until evenly coated. Slice the goat cheese crosswise into thin rounds.
  4. **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, gently toss 5 ounces (140g) arugula with ¼ cup (60g) sliced fresh strawberries and 1 cup (150g) mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries). Add 1 cup (140g) diced jicama.
  5. **Dress and Serve:** Drizzle the chilled berry dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Divide the salad evenly among 4 plates. Top each salad with the nut-coated goat cheese slices. Serve with extra dressing on the side.
