Today’s recipe is my latest obsession. I had this strawberry blue cheese salad at a family event and had to get the recipe from the relative that made it. Seriously, I just could not stop thinking about this salad. I could eat this as a meal and I could eat it every day!

Now this salad uses blue cheese, which I think gives and amazing bite to the flavor. However, if you are really against blue cheese then feel free to use some feta instead.

The whole combination of ingredients is so tasty but the sugared pecans are what really make this salad exceptional. Have this be you go to salad to take to bbq’s this summer. It won’t let you down. This is what I am sharing as THE salad for summer 2016!

If you want to make this a heartier salad some grilled chicken would be an excellent addition.
