This strawberry salad is sure to be one of your new favorites!
Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits so I absolutely love when they are in season. I love them even more when they are on sale. They were on sale this week at my local grocery store so I got a huge box of them. But being just my husband and I, we have to hurry to eat them all before they go bad. I couldn’t let even one of these delicious juicy strawberries go to waste, so I’m trying to incorporate strawberries into each meal. I love the challenge of using only ingredients that I have on hand to save time and money rather than going back to the store for a second trip during the week.
This yummy strawberry salad is how I used strawberries in my lunch. The crisp veggies with the perfectly ripe strawberries tossed in the sweet red wine vinaigrette make the perfect, fresh summer salad. These flavors just scream summer and sweetness. I love that this salad is light and sweet. It’s exactly the mid-day pick me up I was needing.
The recipe for this strawberry salad is so easy to make, requiring only about 5 minutes of prep time to chop the fresh veggies and mix together the simple dressing. I definitely recommend making this salad before the summer ends and strawberries go out of their peak season.
