Strawberry & Greens Salad with Honey Vinaigrette


It's almost strawberry season! Nice-looking fresh strawberries are starting to make their appearance in grocery stores here, and I'm really excited about it!

Here's a really simple, very flavorful, and beautifully eye-catching salad starring those little red beauties.

And I love, that on top of all that, it's "different" than just your basic tossed salad. Not that I have anything against your basic tossed salad - eat it all the time - but, sometimes you just want something a little bit different.

Dressed with a Honey Vinaigrette that pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the strawberries, something deliciously  different is certainly what this salad delivers up.

This salad is so tasty and pretty, I often make it when I have guests for dinner.  Or, when I'm bringing a dinner to someone.  

One word of "warning," though - the vinegar in the dressing begins to take its toll on the strawberries pretty quickly.  I recommend dressing the salad right before serving.  You can certainly keep the leftovers overnight, but the strawberries will be faded and puny the next day!
