Sitting outside getting some Vitamin D with a cool breeze is so refreshing. Why not enjoy a strawberry spinach salad with a tangy lemon honey poppyseed vinaigrette while you’re at it? I love summer salads. This salad is one of my all-time favorites. It’s great to have at summer BBQs or for a weeknight dinner. It’s so fresh, quick, and easy! 🍓
