Strawberries and Salad, what a mix!

One of my favorite things to do is to pair sweet and savory items together in my salads. Not only is it tasty, but it is good for you. Strawberries are abundant right now and they are great in salads. Try this salad recipe with my strawberry vinaigrette and you will be pleased!
