As much as I love fall and winter produce (and I do!) I am always so happy when spring and summer berries come into season. One of my favorite ways to use these colorful, antioxidant rich little fruits is in salads, like this Mixed Berry Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette!

The Strawberry Vinaigrette:

Avocado oil, fresh strawberries, lemon juice and a little white balsamic combine to make a beautiful, bright pink dressing. So easy, healthy and naturally sweet. (I love this white balsamic and a close runner up is this one)
