Strawberry Salad

A fresh strawberry salad bursting with flavor, not only is it delicious, but it is also a healthy option too. Strawberries are full of antioxidants and just one serving of strawberries has the same vitamin C as a whole orange.

Also, a strawberry salad is a great way to use up some of the summer produce that is starting to fade away.
