"If your strawverries are large, cut them into eighths. Change the fruit with the season, so you always have a in-season fruit. Use plums, figs, or grapes! Vary the cheese with the fruit."

Daily Inspiration

This salad was simply delicious. DH raved about the strawberries. Although I scaled this salad down for 2, I was able to adjust the vinegar/honey mixture perfectly. This salad will be a repeat at our house since strawberries are so readily available.
