Copycat Zupas Strawberry Harvest Salad

Sharing is caring!

This tasty salad recipe is inspired by the Strawberry Harvest Salad at Zupa’s! Filled with berries, candied pecans, apples, and topped with a sweet strawberry champagne vinaigrette! 

What You Need:

I opted for feta cheese instead of fontina. I feel like it adds just a touch more flavor but it is definitely a personal preference. You cannot go wrong either way.

But the star of the show has to be the Strawberry Champagne Vinaigrette… Oh-my-heavens- does it taste good. On everything.

• Mixed Greens
• Strawberries
• Feta OR Fontina Cheese
• Apple
• Dried Cranberries
• Candied Pecans
• Strawberry Vinaigrette

How to make Zupa’s Strawberry Harvest Salad:

This salad really makes a fantastic meal. We have had it for both lunch and dinner. The addition of so many great ingredients helps fill my belly and keep me satisfied longer. I also tend to reach for it when I have a little bit of a sweet tooth. Fresh fruit takes this salad to the next level! 

1. Toss the mixed greens, strawberries, feta, apple, cranberries, and pecans in a large bowl.
2. Serve with Strawberry Champagne vinaigrette.

Tips to make the very best salad at home:

1. Start with a variety of greens. You can find a bag of salad ready mixed greens at most grocery stores. We like to make our own with a combination of romaine, ice burg, spinach, and arugula.
2. Add texture with a variety of mix-ins. Nuts, fruit, vegetables… You can elevate your salad by tossing in handfuls of your favorite ingredients.
3. Make your own salad dressing. Homemade vinaigrette,  ranch dressing, or a balsamic gives your salad life and flavor!
4. Do not skip the salt and pepper! Make sure you season the entire salad with a little salt and pepper OR other seasonings.
5. Mix in a salad bowl before you serve.

Dressing for Strawberry Harvest Salad:

1. Combine thawed frozen strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, champagne vinegar in a high powered blender. Blend smooth.
2. Add a bit of olive oil and pulse until combined.
