Why you will love this Strawberry Bistro Salad

Obviously I love it and I think you will too! I don’t usually tell stories, but I recently went to a cute casual café called The 208 in a small town called Burley Idaho and ate their menu item called The Market Salad, this is my rendition of that salad.

Ingredients for the Main Salad

Baby red butter lettuce or spring mix
Fresh strawberries sliced and fanned out
Fresh blueberries
Fresh raspberries
Almonds, sliced
Honeycrisp apple sliced
Dried cherries or cranberries
Feta cheese, crumbled - I prefer to purchase in a block and crumble
Roast or grilled chicken - I adore the ease of Costco rotisserie chicken.

Ingredients for Strawberry White Balsamic Vinaigrette

Strawberries – fresh in the season if possible. Off-season frozen is a good substitute.
Olive Oil – always select a good, fresh, olive oil. I prefer frutato by @cucinaandamore for this recipe.
White balsamic vinegar – again a good brand can make or break your flavor delivery, my preferred brand is the white balsamic by Cucina and Amore
Honey – I always choose local to capture the allergen benefits. If can keep this recipe vegan by choosing maple syrup. Adjust the honey according to desired sweetness, and add another tablespoon for sweeter.
Stone ground dijon mustard – I love the rugged texture the stone ground lends to this dressing.
Salt and Pepper
Note: For most of the country, June is prime time for strawberries.

Equipment

Four plates and utensils
Ninja style personal blender - I use this tool almost daily it's fabulous for so many uses from dressings, to soups and smoothies.
