This is Part III of my Great Summer Salads series. Part I was a Grilled Apple, Walnut, Blue Cheese and Mesclun Greens, part II was Squash, Goat Cheese and Mesclun Greens Salad.
Simple summer salads…
…with peppery, freshly cut arugula from the your own vegetable garden…
… and small, perfect, sweet strawberries from down the road.

This salad sounds fantastic! I love the dressing. Simple and satisfying.
One of my favorite salads is a strawberry spinach salad, so I know I’d love this one, too!
That looks delicious and indeed a perfect summer salad!
