What kind of salad greens work best for this recipe?

The recipe suggests using loosely packed salad greens such as spinach, arugula, or watercress for a fresh base.

Can I substitute other nuts for walnuts in this salad?

While walnuts add a distinct crunch, pecans or candied almonds could be used as an alternative for a similar texture.

How should I store leftover Strawberry and Grape Walnut Salad?

For best results, dress the salad just before serving. If you have leftovers, store the dressed salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day, though the greens may wilt slightly.

Is there a way to make this salad nut-free?

To make this salad nut-free, you could omit the walnuts entirely or substitute them with roasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for a similar crunch.
