Strawberry Salad

Most people probably associate strawberries with summer time, but luckily for us Floridians, we are already starting to get the delicious fruit in season.  These berries are quickly becoming a favorite of Carter's as well (especially pureed with some yogurt).  After this past weekend's cookie fest, the healthy eating is back on (at least until next weekend, ha!).  This is a salad I am having for lunches this week, and it actually gives me something to look forward to that is also filled with nutritious goodies (granted it'd probably be even better for me without the bacon, but hey, it's just a little bit right?!).  

Ingredients for Salad:

1/2 dozen fresh strawberries cleaned and sliced
1 sliced onion, caramelized and cooled (I cooked it the night before)
1 tablespoon crumbled goat cheese
1 slice bacon, crumbled
2 cups baby mixed greens or baby spinach
Some sort of nuts would probably go well too, walnuts or almonds, but I hate them, so not in my salad!
Cider vinegar dressing (whisk together 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoons canola oil, salt and pepper)

Toss all salad ingredients with dressing in a large bowl and then serve on a plate.  If taking to work, them put the salad dressing on the bottom of some tupperware and then put all the ingredients on top and toss right before serving so lettuce doesn't get wilted.
