I could eat this salad everyday. Juicy strawberries, blueberries, crisp cucumbers, and hearty nuts. Bacon is optional, but does add a delicious savory note here. It's all tossed in the easiest, 3-ingredient balsamic vinaigrette. A simple side of grilled chicken, steak, veggie burger, or even quinoa would make this a wonderful, satisfying meal.

Recipe Notes

Any pre-made mixed nut variety will work here. My favorite variety is to combine: 1/4 cup roasted almonds, 1/4 cup pecans, 1/4 cup brazil nuts, and 1/4 cup roasted cashews. Save any leftover mixed nuts for snacking later.
