The Candied Pecans are a perfect spicy compliment to the sweet strawberries. Our Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette is great with any salad, quick to whisk together and taste so much better than store-bought dressing.

This salad pairs very well with steak dishes, the flavors of the strawberries and blue cheese will make a great steak pop in your mouth. Personally, I also enjoy this salad with Grilled Salmon.
