Strawberry Salad

Strawberries are absolutely amazing this time of year, and this recipe is a great way to incorporate them into dinner time.  In the summer when it's too hot to cook inside, grill up some beef / fish / chicken / veggies and serve this salad - A perfect light mid-summer meal! 
While it is recommended that you buy organic produce whenever possible, I have to insist it with strawberries!  This time of year, Farmer's markets have a bounty of them at great prices.


Serves 4 

(all ingredients organic, if possible)

6 oz baby greens (mesclun, arugula, spinach, etc)
6 medium strawberries, sliced
1 small cucumber, sliced
1 avocado, diced
3 T feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
1 T balsamic vinegar
2 T extra virgin olive oil

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Lightly toss together once you're ready to serve.
