I have been on a major salad kick lately. It's all this nice weather! Suddenly my beloved sautéed kale and dark greens are taking the back burner to light, summery salads. I have had a salad for lunch the past two weeks. Maybe three weeks? Ok, a long time. While my lunch salad is pretty much the same everyday (I'm such a creature of habit), my dinner salads are always changing. This little gem is zesty, sweet, and creamy. If you're not a salad lover, let me convert you. I don't know how you can not absolutely love this strawberry rocket salad!
Now I have to admit, I added crumbled goat cheese to this salad the other night and it was divine. Not necessary, however a welcomed addition ;) Put away your sautéing pans and embrace salads this Spring!
