  • 1 cup Wish Farms strawberries
  • 2 teaspoons water

Directions

For the Salad
  • In a large salad bowl, toss all ingredients together until combined. Drizzle or toss with vinaigrette.

  • Other protein options that would be great with this salad include: grilled, baked or rotisserie chicken, salmon, pre-cooked apple chicken sausage, or roasted turkey
