That might be a song by the Beatles but what better title for a salad that makes you wish strawberry season was forever. These little berries delight whether eaten fresh out of the patch, with cream, in a salad or any other culinary creation. This strawberry laden salad is heavenly especially when tossed with a freshly made strawberry vinaigrette.
