The star of this salad is, of course, the succulent strawberries that are at their peak of ripeness during the summer. Their juicy, sweet flavor pairs perfectly with the peppery bite of arugula or the crispness of romaine lettuce. Tossed with a simple vinaigrette or a creamy poppy seed dressing, the strawberries add a burst of color and a burst of flavor to every bite. And with the addition of other seasonal ingredients like toasted nuts, crumbled cheese, or avocado, this Summer Strawberry Salad is a delightful way to savor the tastes of the season.
