Sweet and herbal, tender and crisp—this simple strawberry-mint salad has so much going for it. Chopped red onion adds tanginess to the juicy berries while matchstick-cut jicama offers a refreshing crunch. (If you can’t find jicama, sliced cucumber would be a tasty substitute.) But the magic of this simple dish is in the dressing: Punchy Dijon mustard, sweet maple syrup, zesty lime juice, and spicy red pepper flakes combine to create a symphony of lip-smacking flavor that binds all the different produce together. Plus, everything is mixed together in one bowl, which makes cleanup extra easy! Top the salad with fresh mint (or basil, if you want the recipe to skew in a more savory direction) and serve alongside French toast for the perfect brunch combo.
