Preparation

Step 1

In a blender (or in a tall jar using a immersible blender), puree strawberries. Add honey, Dijon, balsamic vinegar and salt, and blend to combine. While blending gradually add oil and blend until smooth.
In a large bowl, toss arugula with a pinch of salt. Add just enough dressing to lightly coat arugula and toss gently. Transfer greens to 4 individual plates and divide sliced strawberries, almond and cheese among servings. Serve immediately, refrigerate any leftovers.
