This salad is one of the most delicious combination. Full riped strawberries, Kalamata Olives and your favorite blue cheese together with a delicate vinaigrette. I loved it. You can prepare the recipe for 1 serving or for many more. It is easy and fast to prepare. And the taste is convincing everybody. I like it especially for being a light dish with some of the most exiting flavors. Your taste buds will be pleased. and your guests, too. A real keeper.
