Summer Salad

This salad is perfect for summer! It's a delicious salad to pair with a soup (like I did) or by itself.

What you need:
4 cups mesclun
4 - 5 strawberries, sliced
3 tbsp sliced almonds
3 oz deli ham, chopped
1/2 shallot, diced
3 tbsp olive oil
dash balsamic vinegar
l/2 lemon

In a pan, heat oil with shallots. Remove from heat and let cool. Add the juice from one squeezed lemon and a dash of balsamic vinegar. Set aside. Rinse the mesclun and berries. Combine in a bowl and set aside. Warm the ham for a few minutes on the stovetop (optional). Cover the salad with the dressing. Mix well. Place salad on a plate and put ham in center. Sprinkle with almonds. Viola!
