Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or baby greens)

- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash strawberries under cold water, remove tops, and slice into quarters. Slice a pomegranate over a bowl to catch seeds and coax them out.
- Mix the Greens: In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens. If using tougher greens like kale, massage them with salt and olive oil to soften.
