Today marks the first day of my summer vacation. Do you know what that means?
No more packed lunches!
Although during the school year I tried to vary my mid-day meals throughout the work week, I found myself resorting to a rather boring rotation of leftovers, fruit & yogurt, peanut butter and banana sandwiches, and hummus & veggie sandwiches.

Well, now that I’ll be home for lunch every day, I’m looking forward to making exactly what I’m craving in the moment…
…which more often than not in the hot summer is a fresh & bright fruity salad.

This is a sweet salad in every sense of the word.
Juicy raspberries and strawberries are joined by creamy bites of tangy goat cheese encrusted in crunchy granola atop tender baby greens. The gorgeous Red Berry Vinaigrette I posted last week is generously drizzled on top as the perfect finishing touch.
What do you like to make when you’re home for lunch?
