Katlin’s Early Summer Salad

This is a celebration of the first berries, the joy blast of salads—vibrant and perfect for a Saturday lunch on the porch. The secret is adding just a tiny bit of fresh mint to the dressing. It makes the strawberries pop and smells like summer.

Ingredients:

• Old Dog Farm spinach

• Old Dog Farm carrots (grated)

• Sprouts

• Strawberries (sliced)

• Goat cheese

• Walnuts

Bright Vinaigrette:

• 2-3 Old Dog mint leaves (minced)

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1½ tablespoons white wine vinegar

• 1 teaspoon honey

• Pinch of salt

Tip: Wait until the last second to add the sprouts. They provide the crunch that makes the whole bowl feel alive.
