Summer Salad with Strawberries and Melon

Summer Salad with Strawberries and Melon
This refreshing summer salad is a perfect combination of sweet and juicy fruits, crisp greens, and a tangy vinaigrette. It's a simple yet impressive dish that captures the essence of the season. The ripe strawberries and melon add a burst of freshness, while the sugar snap peas provide a delightful crunch. I love serving this salad at outdoor gatherings, and it always receives compliments from family and friends. It's a testament to the beauty of letting high-quality ingredients shine.
Ingredients
  • 10 cups mixed greens
  • 1 large melon (cantaloupe or honeydew), diced – approximately 1.5 kg / 3.3 lb

  • 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the mixed greens, scallions, and sugar snap peas.
