My strawberry beds are loaded with strawberries! Some of my grandkids and I enjoyed a hearty snack walking through the garden this morning. 
I taught them to pull the leaves back and find treasure!
And I have a brand new recipe, from a sweet family member, that has become my favorite way to use strawberries! Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad!
The secret to this yummy salad is slicing the onions very thinly!
You also want to slice the strawberries like this – slice off stem area, set the base of the strawberry down and slice from tip to base! It holds it’s shape and firmness in the salad as opposed to chopping in small pieces! It also looks so pretty!
Put this salad together just before serving – toss lightly and top with Poppy Seed Dressing! I use stevia instead of sugar for guilt free dining!
I had this lovely salad for my lunch today – SO yummy! I may have it again for supper!
