The Best Salad Ever

Today when I got home from a lovely hour-long bike ride at the Greeneway I was in the mood for a serious salad. I immediately started pulling all the fruits and vegetables out of the fridge. A little washing and chopping, and voila:

In this salad:

• spring mix
• locally-grown, fresh English peas
• 1 locally-grown tomato
• seedless red grapes
• strawberries
• baby carrots, sectioned
• 1/8 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• a handful of celery stalks

I intended to use a packet of Berry Balsamic Vinaigrette from Chick-fil-A, but that turned out to be completely unnecessary. The salad was absolutely amazing just as it was. I enjoyed it at my desk with the blinds open while working on my laptop:
