Notes
- ALWAYS choose organic strawberries as conventionally grown strawberries are always on the EWG do not eat list.
- Watermelon radishes are wonderful in this salad!
- I like to peel the back of my celery stalks to eliminate the tough strings.
- If you consume animal protein, add small chunks of sauteed, broiled, or baked organic chicken breast!
- This salad is great for entertaining your best friend for lunch. Serve with crisp bread sticks. Add a nice white wine to celebrate your friendship!
