Recipe Tips

• If your cucumbers are waxed peel them.
• Remove the seeds from the cucumbers. The watery seeds will make your salad wet and the dressing wont stick to the lettuce.
• Make sure your lettuce is dry before you dress the salad. Since oil and water don’t mix the wet lettuce will make the dressing slide off the lettuce. The best way to make sure your lettuce is dry is to use pre-washed spinach.

Recipe Variations for Strawberry and Goat Cheese Salad

• Make it a meal by adding grilled shrimp or some salmon fillet.
• Add toasted walnuts or sliced almonds.
• If you don’t like goat cheese you can use mozzarella or Parmesan cheese.

What is the Best Way to Store This Salad?

The best way to store this salad is to put it in a glass or plastic air tight container that is lined with paper towel. The paper towel on the bottom of the container will absorb moisture from the salad which will keep it fresher longer.

It’s also important to store the dressing separately from the salad. I love storing leftover dressing in a reusable salad dressing container.
