Hi, everyone! I’m Kendra from The Kreative Life and I want to thank Emily for allowing me to take over her blog for the day! I have a family-friendly blog where I share crafts, recipes, diy projects, and everyday life tips. If I’m not busy blogging, then you can bet I’m chasing around my two babies on the beach or at a park nearby. I would love for you all to come check me out on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Periscope (@TheKreativeLife) where I live stream video to all of my followers. Can’t wait to see you all there!

I am a lettuce-eating, veggie-loving, fruit-chomping type of gal. If it comes out of the ground or grows on a tree, you can bet that I’ve tried it at least once. I like my sweets too, but I can go for days without eating anything but fruits and veggies. I’ve always been that way and no, I’m not a vegetarian. You may think that it can get boring, but I assure you that it does not. There’s more than one way to eat a variety of fruits and veggies. You can eat kale fresh or sauté it on the stove. You can have a fresh apple or slice it up, add a little cinnamon, and pop it in the oven. The possibilities are endless. One of my favorite things to eat, fresh or cooked, is spinach. I cook it so much that I think my husband has developed an aversion to it and the only reason he eats it is because I’m not going to cook another veggie for the night.

 Fresh Summer Salad with Sweet Strawberry Vinaigrette

I do love fresh salads and since summer is finally here, that also means strawberries! I love those two and what more could a girl ask for than having two of her faves in the same dish? There’s nothing more perfect than eating a cool, crisp salad with some of the freshest fruits and veggies around. This fresh summer salad with sweet strawberry vinaigrette has everything I could ask for! It’s tangy, sweet, and crunchy! Did I forget to mention that it’s healthy?

    I’ve had strawberries on salads before, but I don’t think I’ve made a strawberry vinaigrette. Thanks for sharing your recipe 🙂

    This looks like the perfect summer salad. Balsamic vinegar is my favorite, so I’m sure I will like the dressing.
