This time of year I start craving salads with fruit in them. I wound up with 8 lbs of strawberries in the refrigerator last weekend and realized that I’d better start using them quickly.
My oldest son was bouncing with excitement when I set this salad in front of him last night. With my bounty of berries, I made this salad three times last week and all of us still love it. Even my youngest eats every bite of this salad and asks for more!
