This refreshing summer Strawberry and Mixed Green Salad pairs beautifully with any grilled meat or fish, and it’s so easy to make. Just combine a mix of baby greens with fresh strawberries, blueberries, crumbled blue cheese, and toasted pecans, then toss with a bright dressing of Dijon mustard. This also works for an elegant summer lunch with almost no work. I make this salad with strawberries and blueberries but feel free to use any berries you like. The recipe yields six servings as a first course or side dish.
