FESTIVE RED AND GREEN SALAD

Here is a very festive and simple salad recipe for your dinner/party guests for this holiday season! This is the second recipe brought to you by the California Strawberry Commission. I just love the addition of fruit in salads. It just brightens up the flavours in a salad, adding juice and sweetness. Strawberries add that splash of red colour to the usual green salad, making this very festive!
