Doin' Some Cookin'... Cucumber Salad with Chia Seed Strawberry Vinaigrette

As you can see my all of my recent blog posts salads have become my go to because of the endless possibilities of flavors and textures. With the weather warming up I find myself craving cooling foods.

I love salads with fruit in them. There is something refreshing about biting into a juicy strawberry with a forkful of greens. Ah-mazing!

This salad is a bed of spinach topped with crisp cucumbers, juicy strawberries, and drizzled with a chia seed strawberry vinaigrette.

The vinaigrette is liquid gold with fresh strawberries, zesty lime, and crunchy chia seeds... superfood sneak for the win!!!
