Summer Strawberry Salad Recipe

This is such a simple strawberry salad to put together but big on flavour! The addition of fresh seasonal strawberries really lifts a salad. They pair well with  smooth creamy Danish feta and the crunch from the toasted walnuts. Summer heaven!

 

Time: 15 mins  |   Serves: 6

Our Tip: Not a walnut fan? Almonds or pine nuts will work just as well!
