Summertime Strawberry Salad Recipe.

Salad Mix:
4 cups mixed baby greens
1/2 lb. halved organic strawberries
3 oz. fresh goat cheese
4 tbs. walnuts (in the future I would caramelize the walnuts, as they did at Beach Creek.)
salt and pepper, to taste

Dressing:
1/2 c. halved organic strawberries
2 tbs. balsamic vinegar
2 tbs. olive or canola oil
2 tbs. honey
salt and pepper, to taste

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Directions:
1. Rinse the greens and chop into smaller pieces on cutting board. Place in large bowl.
2. Cut the strawberries in half, and add to greens.
3. Crumble goat cheese.
4. Add walnuts to salad mix (caramelize them first if you'd prefer them that way.)
5. Add dressing and toss salad; let sit. This will allow the greens to really absorb the flavor.
6. Place salad mixture into serving bowls or plates, and top with goat cheese. Enjoy!

Serves two.
Depending on your preference, you could add or subtract the amount of honey you use.
