For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the strawberries in a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for 15 minutes before adding them to the salad. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Watch closely to prevent burning. Feel free to substitute other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries based on seasonal availability and personal preference. If you don't have Gorgonzola cheese, feta or goat cheese make excellent substitutes. The honey balsamic vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and whisk before using.
