Strawberry season is here and and the bounty is beautiful. Most people turn to strawberry shortcake, strawberry ice cream, and strawberry jam...all delicious and sweet. I also like to use strawberries in savory recipes as well as sweet. I made this salad two summers ago when experimenting with this idea. I really love the strawberry jam in the dressing because it adds sweetness and intensifies that strawberry flavor. If you want to turn this salad into a main course, a grilled piece of chicken would be lovely. I think you will be impressed by how well these flavors marry together.
