It’s nice weather again so this Strawberry and Walnut Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette dressing is one of my favorite salads to enjoy. Many evenings I like to whip up a soup and salad to have for dinner. I have always been an iceberg lettuce kind of girl until I tried a Strawberry Walnut Spinach salad. Now I like to have spinach salads quite often. I have even gotten the hubby and a couple of the kiddos to eat this combo from time to time.

Today was such a wonderful sunshiny and warmer day (I think we hit 60, yipee). I enjoyed a salad and a lemonade for dinner. I am looking forward to making lots of salads and enjoying spring and summer with lots of fruits and veggies.
Do you eat more salads in the spring and summer? I will admit, I consume salads all year long but I tend to load them up with more fresh fruits and fresh vegetables during the warmer months.
