Add nuts and toast to release the oils. Set aside to cool slightly. Place green in a large bowl and add strawberries, nuts and cheese. Dress with vinaigrette (recipe below) and mix gently, but thoroughly. In the winter, I like to add caramelized red onions. I have also sugar coated the walnuts. If you love cil...
