I am very giddy and excited to announce that I am part of another fabulous group, The Salad Bar!!! I love salads all throughout the year, so I knew this would be right up my alley! What is The Salad Bar? Once a month, we are sharing our favorite salads BUT there’s a catch, there will be a theme of how the salads are made! This month the theme is…den den den….berries! This month, I have created the Candied Pecan Strawberry Salad! Please grab a seat and join me.
Berries are currently in season now for us in the United States, so after my children and I picked strawberries from our local farmers field, I decided to add them in a tasty and satisfying salad. If you know my blog, you will also known that I am quite passionate about local farms, field to table and Eco-friendly activities, so these salad challenges are perfect.
I want to give a big shout out to Wendy from The Weekend Gourmet for pulling this together for all of us! You are amazing Wendy!

I love adding glazed or candied pecans to any salad. It adds a touch of extra sweetness to each bite. Eat them plain as a snack or in a salad! Be sure to try out my Glazed Pecans to up your salad as well!

Strawberries just seem to make everything better and prettier. Great salad for the Salad Bar.
This salad is so colorful and I love basil with the baby lettuce. Yum!
What a pretty salad, Amber! Love the idea of adding basil to the mix…I always seem to have extra left when I cook with it. Never though to add it to my organic baby greens mix! I can’t wait to try your glazed pecans recipe.
I love the basil and mozzarella in here..what a fantastic combo for late spring and early summer!
I’m in the car checking out all these gorgeous salads as we drive across Illinois…and they’re making me very hungry! So fun to join you for this month’s first Salad Bar 🙂
Nice round up of berry salads. Pinning some and making them !!
What a wonderful combination of flavors, love it!!
You had me at candied pecans! Love those in a salad!
Great salad, Shannon! I love the idea of the candied pecans. Crunch and sweetness at the same time!
This looks delicious. I love candied pecans too!
I think it’s the candied pecans that would do me in! I adore those little guys, unfortunately, I eat just as many out of hand as I put into my salads. Love, love love them!
We have strawberry fields just down the road as well, and they’ve been about as perfeclty ripe as they can be lately. Excellent post!
I think my pecan to lettuce ration would be way un-proportionate in this recipe.
I love the addition of candied pecans. Your salad is gorgeous. So many great salads to try now. I am going to turn into a rabbit.
This looks sooo fresh! And I love the moz cheese bites in it!
I like that you used grapeseed oil, Amber. Candied pecans work for me!
Those candied pecans are just the tastiest, no? They work especially well with your strawberries in this salad, but what I really love is the basil! Very yummy salad. I’m looking forward to next month!
This sounds so refreshing with the strawberries and mozzarella and candied pecans-definitely a summer salad!
I love a green salad with fruit! I like the addition of mozzarella cheese to the salad!
Love it! I bet the pecans add a wonderful texture to the salad.
Mmm, this looks so fresh and delicious. Love those candied pecans!
