Directions

  1. 1

    Gently wash and dry the arugula and lettuce using a salad spinner to preserve their freshness.

  2. 2

    Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters. If they are very small, leave them whole.

  3. 3

    Lightly crush the walnuts with your hands or a knife—you want textured pieces, not a powder.

  4. 4

    Prepare the vinaigrette: pour the balsamic vinegar into a bowl, add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until you have a smooth emulsion. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  5. 5

    Place the base of arugula and lettuce in a large salad bowl or on individual plates.

  6. 6

    Distribute the strawberries and crushed walnuts over the greens.

  7. 7

    Cut the brie into small pieces or shavings with a vegetable peeler and sprinkle over the salad.

  8. 8

    Drizzle generously with the vinaigrette just before serving, then toss gently with your hands so that every leaf is well coated.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a creamier mouthfeel, take the brie out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. You can enrich this salad with crispy bacon bits or pan-seared chicken to make it a complete meal. Always prefer seasonal strawberries for optimal taste.
