Strawberries are the angels of the earth, innocent and sweet with green leafy wings reaching heavenward. ~Terri GuillemetsI'm in complete agreement with the above quote, especially after today's unexpected adventure to Pappy's Patch U-Pick Strawberries.
After a complete week of being cooped up with the kids due to the unexpected hospitalization of my husband to have his gallbladder removed, we were so happy just to get out of the house and do something new. Thanks to the referral of a good friend we made our way to Oviedo, where it was opening season for Pappy's strawberry picking. This was a new experience for us and I know it's one we will continue to repeat. I'm even looking for other places that we can go to pick our own fruit (suggestions?)!
I'm gonna to be a good girl with these strawberries, so while the kids are having shakes and dipping them in chocolate, I am making a scrumptious salad.
Ingredients for 1 serving:
- 4-5 Strawberries
- 1/4 cup Walnuts
- 14 cup Craisins (dried cranberries)
- Handful of Romaine Lettuce
- Handful of Spinach
- Feta Cheese (optional)
- Lite Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette Dressing
First, slice the strawberries and crush the walnuts. Place the lettuce and spinach in a bowl and top with the strawberries, walnuts, craisins, and feta. Mix in the dressing.
Bon Appetit
Filling, Delicious, and (best of all) Guilt Free!
