Strawberry Green Salad
Jump to RecipeI love stepping into the garden to pick up some fresh greens for my salad. Nothing beats the freshness, flavor and all the high quality of nutrients that you get from your own produce. We also love going to picked up some fresh strawberries every year from the farm which we did the other day. The moment we got home; I couldn't wait to make this strawberry salad. This beautiful and very flavorful salad is so refreshing and delicious. The Strawberry dressing is the highlight of the salad as it makes it so fresh and very summery. Perfect for the summer hot days.
