Strawberry Salad with Feta, Arugula & Pickled Red Onions

1 large red onion 

1/2 c. white balsamic vinegar

1 t. sugar

1/2 t. salt

5 oz. baby arugula

1/4 c. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/4 c. chopped fresh mint

2 lbs. fresh strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered

3/4 c. (4 oz.) crumbled feta cheese

1/2 c. toasted pistachios

1/4 c. olive oil

Cut onion in half lengthwise and thinly slice into half-moons. In a medium bowl stir together vinegar, sugar, and salt; add sliced onion and stir to combine. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, on a platter or salad plates arrange arugula, parsley, and mint. Top with strawberries, feta, pickled onions, pistachios, and, if you like, additional parsley and mint. Stir olive oil into pickling liquid; drizzle over salad(s).

Serves 8.
