I wonder if frozen strawberries would work if you really wanted this in the winter? 🙂 And granola would be a delicious substitute for the nuts.
I wouldn’t recommend it. Thawed strawberries are soggy and loses that crisp consistency.
I wouldn’t use frozen strawberries in a salad. Like Elle said, they turn mushy when they are thawed. Granola would be good though!
That’s true, just wasn’t thinking. I’ll bet Mandarin orange slices would be good though.
Yes, I bet Mandarin oranges would be a yummy twist!
YUM!!!! This is my kind of a salad!!!
