Strawberries available early in the season are often small ones from Florida. Leave them whole in this salad. Later in the season, the berries will be bigger. Cut those in half. Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil |
1 (5-oz.) package mâche (about 4 cups), thoroughly washed |
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, cut in half |
1/2 cup crumbled farmer's cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake almonds in a single layer in a shallow pan 5 to 7 minutes or until toasted and fragrant.
2. Whisk together oil and next 3 ingredients in a bowl; stir in basil. Add mâche; toss to combine. Top with strawberries, farmer's cheese, and toasted almonds. Serve immediately.
