Simple, Beautiful, Lucious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This salad was not only beautiful to look at, but a wonderful taste sensation. It's the perfect accompaniment to any meal.... Who would have known something so easy to make would be so appealing. The simple balsamic dressing marries so well with the strawberries. I, too, like others, marinated the strawberries for a few minutes before placing them on top of each salad. I finished my salads off with glazed pecan pieces. I did make the mistake of adding the cheese into the salad when I dressed it. The presentation would have been prettier if I had not done that. Next time, I will put the diced cheese on top! to compliment the red, juicy berries! This is a definite keeper!Read more
