Summer strawberries, cold juicy grapes & crunchy walnuts make this the perfect lite summer salad!
So delicious – it’s easy to pack in 3-4 cups of greens in just one meal!
I love summer! Not just because of the weather – I mean, we live in San Diego so it’s pretty much summertime year-round. I’m talking about all of the amazing in-season fresh fruits! Every Sunday, Oliver and I ride our bikes down to the Farmer’s Market near our home – and clean up on every fresh fruit we can carry! First on the list? Strawberries. Always strawberries.
This amazing salad is the perfect light concoction of fresh strawberries, juicy red grapes, greens, goat cheese and crunchy walnuts. Tossed in a light balsamic vinaigrette – it’s a keeper!
