    Strawberry Pecan Salad for Pinterest 2

    This arugula spinach strawberry pecan salad recipe offers a great balance of flavors. It’s fresh and delicious, as well as pretty!

    Lainey’s hardy appetite

    I’m so not the type of person who goes to a restaurant and orders just a salad. It makes me want to laugh hysterically to even think about saying to the waiter, “Just a salad, thank you.”

    Christopher would sit there blinking at me, my family would burst into laughter and someone would have to call the people in the white coats to take me away to a padded room.

    There is one exception. The Cobb salad.  You can see my version here. The reason it is the only exception is because it is a meal in itself. And when I go out to a restaurant, I want a meal, not “just a salad.”

    But I will order a side salad like this one. Christopher and I usually share appetizer salads but only if they are bigger salads and not one of those little side salads some restaurants serve. It just wouldn’t do. Christopher would shovel that small salad into his mouth to get his fair share. . . or more.

      I love the sound of this peppery sweet salad! As always, the photos are gorgeous. My Father-in law comes home with bags of pecans from Georgia every summer! I can’t wait, I’m all out!
