Today I’m sharing a simple spring salad idea for everyday lunches and casual gatherings. You’re going to love it!
The sun is shining and it finally feels like spring!
After an endless winter filled with wonderful soups, stews and other comfort foods,
I’m ready to lighten it up in the kitchen
And a fresh and simple spring salad is just the thing.

Today I’m joining a fun group of bloggers to share spring salad ideas.
You’ll find links to their yummy recipes at the end.
Don’t all these salad look so good?!
I’m making a fresh, spring luncheon salad.
Packed with spring greens, fresh strawberries, crumbled feta and candied pecans.
You can find the recipe here.
It’s from Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines.
Her recipe is intended as a starter salad.
Just add two cups of roast, shred chicken to the mix.
(I used Ina Garten’s easy method.)
And a side of sweet baguette.
Voila, it’s a meal.
Tossed in a blush wine and berry vinaigrette this salad is so fresh and delicious.
Need to save time?
This already made Blush Wine Vinaigrette is a great option.
More time savers –
Buy a rotisserie chicken.
And make the candied pecans (or walnuts) a day or two ahead.
They’re so good!
I shared my all occasion spring table setting here.
Set on my embroidered table throw from Pottery.
It’s so colorful and cheerful.
Add flowers by day and candles by night.

What a charming table to share with friends. I have a similar salad recipe that is my go-to for company. I simplify it even further by using Trader Joe’s candied pecans.

Gosh, your salad looks wonderful. I’m going the other way (southern hemisphere) where I’m just starting to add soups and casseroles to the menu. I’m over salad for a bit having grown lots of salad things in my garden this year. Thanks for sharing this though. I’m pinning for next summer.
