We are smack dab in the middle of strawberry season here in North Carolina and the season is yielding plump and juicy strawberries that are perfect for creating a variety of recipes, like this Strawberry Citrus Salad. If you’ve never tried strawberries on a salad, you are in for a treat. Mandarin oranges, red onions and fresh spinach are a delicious accompaniment, and for added flavor and protein it’s topped with toasted pecans and slices of hard-boiled eggs. Easy, simple, nutritious and delicious. However, what makes this salad extra special is the homemade Strawberry Vinaigrette, made with fresh strawberries, red onions, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a little of Organic Strawberry Syrup for an added burst of strawberry flavor.
