" MIXED GREENS and BERRIES SALAD "


I love to make this salad this time of year, because the strawberries and blackberries are so fresh. You can also substitute the strawberries and blackberries for your favorite berries. Remember what you make with your heart n soul is always made with Lots of Love.
