Summer is almost here (at least here in the south \u263a) so it\u2019s time for light and refreshing meals! Last weekend I just made the most delicious summer salad and I had to share it with you!<\/h5>\n
It looks and tastes like a real gourmet, fancy salad but it\u2019s so easy to make. And even if you have some picky eaters in your family (especially the kids) they will love it, too. After all, the fruits give the salad a sweet taste, which kids always love \u263a<\/h5>\n

Ingredients<\/span><\/h4>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>4 cups Spring salad (depending on how many servings you need) \u2013 I made 2 servings<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>1 cup Goat feta cheese (cubed) \u2013 you can use any kind, but I prefer goat as it\u2019s easier to digest<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>2 cups watermelon cubes<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>1 tbs. shaved red onion<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>1 tbs. chopped cilantro (optional) \u2013 if you don\u2019t love cilantro just leave it out<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>3-4 strawberries (sliced) for topping if desired<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>Homemade strawberry vinaigrette dressing (ingredients below)<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>2 tbs. lemon juice<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>\u00bd tsp. mustard<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>2 tbs. olive oil<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>Salt & pepper<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>5 strawberries (blended)<\/h5>\n
\u2665\u00a0<\/span>1\/2 tsp. honey (optional) if you are looking for a sweeter taste<\/h5>\n

How to make<\/span><\/h4>\n
In a blender mix the strawberries, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, salt pepper and honey. That\u2019s your dressing!<\/h5>\n
Mix all ingredients together, pour the dressing, toss and enjoy! That simple! \u263a<\/h5>\n
You can serve it as is for a light meal or next to grilled chicken if not a vegetarian!<\/h5>\n
