Strawberry Bacon Salad with Greek Yogurt Poppyseed Dressing

April 9, 2013 by Jaida 2 Comments

J looked at me a little crazy when I told him this is what we were having for lunch on Sunday, “Strawberries and bacon?” Like it was the strangest flavor combination he’d ever heard. I guess I’ve just been cooking and experimenting for so long that odd combos don’t seem odd to me anymore. I told him to just trust me, that it would be good. Good thing he trusts me, because it was deeelicious!! He went back for a second helping, and said, “This stuff is addictive.”

Mmhmm… it sure is!

And, as if this salad wasn’t reason enough to celebrate – I just realized that today is my 2 YEAR Blogiversary!! I can’t believe it’s been two years!! A big thank you to all of my readers!!

Strawberry Bacon Salad

I don’t really know how to describe the flavors..I mean, it’s bacon for cryin’ out loud!! The crunch and saltiness of the bacon go really well with the sweetness and softer texture of the strawberries. And the dressing…? Soooo good!! And it’s the perfect warm weather salad to add to your weekend menu.

    Strawberries, bacon and spinach is a wonderful combo. Perfect spring salad–even if I did wake to snow!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
