Around here in Southeastern North Carolina, the Summer berries are rolling in. Our area is known for its strawberry and blueberry farms, and we love the pick-your-own places especially. Here's one of our favorite Summer salads that takes advantage of all those yummy berries.
And if you're wondering where my gorgeous handmade pottery is from, it's from my good friends', The King's from Seagrove, NC. You can find their Etsy shop here. And now here's one of the easiest and most delicious salad recipes ever:
Salad:
Mixed Baby Greens
Strawberries, sliced
Blueberries
Raspberries
Cucumber, sliced
Purple Onion, sliced thinly
Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing:
2 T Balsamic Vinegar
2 T Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove, minced
2 T Strawberry Jam
Salt and Pepper to taste
Arrange all of the salad ingredients on a platter or in a bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
Can't get much easier than that, right?
So enjoy those beautiful berries for dinner this Summer! Add some grilled chicken and you will have the perfect quick, easy, and light dinner!
