Spring Green Salad with Strawberries and Feta

A wonderful, refreshing, green salad with a variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables and fresh strawberries.

This salad is a wonderful combination of peppery rocket, baby spinach and mild lettuce together with salty feta, which are well balanced with the sweet and sour vinaigrette, made with strawberry sauce (I used some of the strawberry sauce I made for the Strawberry Cake – but you can make it in no time), extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, with a hint of garlic.  Combined with fresh strawberries, aromatic mint and crunchy roasted almonds, this salad will intrigue even the most demanding palettes.
