I made this salad last Summer when visiting with Christy at her Hill Country abode. It was deliciously fresh and simple and yummy and all of our children ate it up. Yes, five children eating salad- it really did happen.
In fact, if I had some strawberries in the house, I would totally be making this tonight. This salad is so good that it could very well make me get up and go to the grocery store with ALL three of my kids in tow. Now, THAT’S saying something about how much I like this salad, isn’t it?
