Preparation Steps
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add sliced almonds and a sprinkle of sugar. Stir constantly for 6-8 minutes until sugar melts and coats the almonds. Spread them on parchment paper to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, toss arugula with salt and pepper. Add sliced strawberries, avocado, goat cheese, and pistachios. Fold in cooled almonds to combine.
  3. For the dressing, whisk together champagne vinegar, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and gently toss to coat.
