- 1
Gently wash and dry the arugula and lettuce using a salad spinner to preserve their freshness.
- 2
Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters. If they are very small, leave them whole.
- 3
Lightly crush the walnuts with your hands or a knife—you want textured pieces, not a powder.
- 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
Place the base of arugula and lettuce in a large salad bowl or on individual plates.
- 6
Distribute the strawberries and crushed walnuts over the greens.
- 7
Cut the brie into small pieces or shavings with a vegetable peeler and sprinkle over the salad.
- 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.
