Ahhh! Summer is in the air! This is one of my favorite summer salads to eat. I just love all berries! Since I live in a pretty rural area it is easy to find local berry picking farms. This salad is also perfect to take to picnics and it pairs wonderfully with a poppy seed dressing or balsamic vinaigrette. That beautiful spinach is the first harvest from my veggie garden.

Roasted Cumin-Lime Carrots |familystylefood|recipe. Carrots could easily be the bastard child of the vegetable world. I think that needs to change.

And just forget about those elderly, foot-long, Grand Canyon-cracked carrots with their greens lopped off that you buy individually and invariably taste like a mildewed bath math; who knows how long they’ve been hanging around in storage?

The kind of carrots I’m talking about are bunches of sweet babies you can take home with their fresh green tops still attached.
