Fresh summer strawberries plucked ripe off the vine are a world away from the strawberries you find in most grocery stores. I picked up a pint of organic strawberries from the Ferry Building this past Saturday and was inspired to create something with them today for lunch. I sliced the delicate berries and tossed them with fresh spinach, walnuts, a generous amount of creamy chevre, and a splash of Balsamic Vinaigrette with Dark Chocolate from Ravenous Chocolate in Boulder, CO.

Do you have a great recipe for fresh summer strawberries? We’d love to hear it!
