Kitchen Parade Extra: Strawberry Pepper Salad ♥

Here in the oh-so-green hills of eastern Missouri, it's strawberry time! The local berries are in a couple of weeks early this year and the verdict is: glorious!

This week's Kitchen Parade column is all about strawberries, strawberry salads, to be precise.

First is a Strawberry Pepper Salad that's worthy of the best berries, my favorite (and kid-friendly!) green salad in a long, long time.

And for days when only supermarket berries are available, there's a Strawberry Spinach Salad with a Poppy Seed Vinaigrette. Very good!

For the record, this is my contribution to Weekend Herb Blogging at Kalyn's Kitchen.
