Strawberries, Jam, Salad

Bought 8 quarts of local strawberries from some Amish Yesterday... 
So today I made Strawberry Jam for the first time.

 They smell so good

 Yummy Strawberry Jam... 
I'll be making more next week

 First picking of the season from the garden


~ Brian and I enjoyed this wonderful salad with dinner... Garden fresh leaf lettuce, real bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, chopped walnuts, fresh sliced strawberries & dressing all mixed in a bowl together. This will be a keeper recipe in my kitchen while the lettuce is growing in our garden, makes me happy, happy. So easy, fresh and good for you!

Salad Dressing: (original dressing recipe H-E-R-E)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. dijon-style mustard
2-3 Tbsp. honey
salt
freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:

In a small bowl whisk all ingredients to combine or put all ingredients in a jar and shake to combine. Use immediately or keep, covered and chilled, up to one week.
