Combine
  1. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat the greens and strawberries evenly.

Notes

For a sweeter salad, add more strawberries or honey. Alternatives to granola include crushed nuts for extra crunch. Dress the salad just before serving to maintain freshness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
