Healthy and easy berry pecan salad

Happy Memorial Day! Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff to the summer season and all of the fun and food that comes with it. Today is also the day that I am beginning a segment on summer salad recipes. I feel it is only appropriate to call this series, Summer Salad Sunday! 

I love summer salads and never get tired of creating (or recreating) summer salads. Growing up my dad had a garden and we always had a summer salad that was fresh and nutritious. Now, living without a garden (shocker) I make summer salads from produce I pick up at the farmers market. These salads are fast and simple, require little or no cooking, and are the ideal way to benefit from the in-season fruits and vegetables that are available now.

Fresh and easy, colorful salads are at the top of my list of go-to recipes for summer meals. They are just right for picnics, barbecues, parties, or every day! Each week I will post a different summer salad that is sure to impress. I hope you enjoy each weekly salad as much as I do!

The first summer salad of the series is my all-time favorite, the Berry Pecan Salad. This salad is stocked full of in-season berries as well as leafy greens and topped off with pecans. This salad is sure to please even the pickiest salad eater.
