Don't have arugula? No problem - use your favorite mixed lettuce or spinach. Make your salad that much easier by buying a pre-washed arugula bag or carton.

Don't like goat cheese? Cool, try blue cheese or feta cheese with this strawberry salad recipe.

Don't have pecans? Cool - switch it out for any other nut - walnuts, almonds, and pistachios all taste good with strawberry arugula salad

Want to add more protein? Add a little prosciutto, ham, or cooked chicken to this strawberry and arugula salad.

Dressing and Plating Strawberry Arugula Salad
Fruits and vegetables, like arugula and strawberries, will wilt or release juice or liquid immediately with the addition of salad dressing. Keep your arugula salad vibrant and don't overdress this strawberry salad recipe (or any salad recipe at that).

Plate like a pro! Toss the arugula with a little bit of salad dressing first and plate. Trust that a little bit of salad dressing goes a long way.

Then toss the pecan and strawberries together with an additional small amount of dressing and then layer it on top of the salad. This creates visually a much prettier and more balanced plate.

Last, garnish with crumbled goat cheese and orange zest that have not been tossed in dressing.
