Strawberry Summer Salad with Ricotta Poppyseed Balls

Strawberry Summer Salad

I love that Strawberries are plentiful and cheap this time of year, and this salad is a beautiful way to showcase their delicate, sweet flavour. It's such a pretty salad, and so simple to throw together, that I love to serve it when we have people over for lunch or dinner.
