Make Vinaigrette

Place diced strawberries in a small glass or stainless bowl, toss well with sugar and salt. Allow berries to give off their juices for 5-6 minutes at room temperature. Whisk in mustard, vinegar and shallots. Slowly drizzle in oil in a steady stream while constantly whisking. Stir in chopped thyme and a few grinds of pepper. Tast and adjust salt & pepper to your liking. Store refrigerated for up to 10 days.

Toast Pecans

Preheat oven to 350. Toss nuts in melted butter, sprinkle on sugar, salt & pepper to taste, Place on a cookie sheet and bake until they lightly toast and become fragrant, about 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool on sheet pan completely, then store airtight at room temperature until ready to use.

Assemble Salad

Place lettuces in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over greens to taste, toss well, then divide onto chilled plates. Sprinkle pecans over the salads, arrange strawberries on top, and then grate the dry jack cheese over everything.
