June is national fresh fruit and vegetable month. This is the time of year that a surplus of produce is at its peak season and it’s a great time to visit your local farmers market. June is the perfect month to make a strawberry spinach salad with avocado. Although you can get avocados year round they are at their best in early summer.
My favorite way to enjoy national fresh fruit and veggie month is by mixing organic spring greens with lots of colorful fruit. Any combination of seasonal fruit atop crisp greens is a delicious way to celebrate the start of summer. Any easy homemade honey balsamic vinaigrette is just the right dressing for this salad combo. It’s a perfect blend of savory and sweet for a mixture of vegetables and fruit. Watch the Clearly Organic blog for a variety of colorful summer salad mixtures.
