Strawberry and Apple Salad
Posted by Dr. Cason on Friday, August 1st, 2008
The first time I had strawberries in my salad was at my favorite little mom and pop Italian restaurant in LA. I was first surprised to bite into a little sweetness but it soon became a favorite and I went back again and again to sample it. Sadly a family illness a year later closed the restaurant down. I miss that couple and the cozy little restaurant but I thank them for pushing me to experiment!
So for an easy healthy alternative try adding a little fruit with your salad greens. Toss in a little apple, strawberry or mango. But remember to use a light salad dressing. Something heavy is going to overwhelm the delicate flavors. I always make up my own Italian dressing and mix it in lightly.
Serve with some crusty bread and a glass of wine. Mmmm….

Nikki- Sugar?? Equal parts? Isn’t it too sweet?
Nikkion 01 Aug 2008 at 4:59 pm 4Yes it is a little sweet but soooooooooo tasty. It’s pretty much the only way I can get my husband to eat “rabbit food”

You’re making me hungry! The salad looks so delicious. I, too, like adding a little bit of feta to a fruit salad. Yum!
