Notes
Strawberries: Use ripe, in-season strawberries for the best flavor. Adjust the honey depending on how sweet your berries are. Frozen strawberries work too; add a splash of water if the dressing is too thick.
White balsamic: White balsamic has a lighter color and sweeter, more delicate flavor than regular balsamic. Regular balsamic can be substituted, but it will make the vinaigrette darker.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Shake or stir before serving, adding a splash of water or vinegar if it thickens.
Make ahead: Prepare the vinaigrette, strawberries, pickled onions, and caramelized nuts separately. Refrigerate the berries and vinaigrette, and store the nuts at room temperature. Use the berries within 1–2 days and toss the salad together just before serving.
