This strawberry salad with red wine vinaigrette has Monterey Jack cheese and ridiculously crunchy candied pecans. It's a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients

8 cups chopped romaine or whole-leaf baby spinach
3 cups halved or quartered strawberries
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
¼ cup very thin slices red onion - a mandoline works great for this!
¾ cup Candied Pecans (or your own favorite candied or roasted nuts)
Sweet Red Wine Vinaigrette

Instructions

In a large serving dish or salad bowl, toss together all of the lettuce, plus about three-fourths of the strawberries, cheese, and onion. Then scatter the remaining one-fourth of the strawberries, cheese, and onion over the top.
Sprinkle with Candied Pecans.
Serve with Sweet Red Wine Vinaigrette on the side, for people to add as little or as much as they like to their own portion.
