Strawberry Feta Salad

This simple, yet delicious, salad is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.  I love the fresh strawberries with the salty feta cheese topped with a homemade dijon vinaigrette.  Makes a great lunch salad or pre-dinner salad for that matter.  As you can tell from my photo, I did not care about plating it on a fancy plate.....all I wanted to do was eat it quickly and I can tell you that it tasted just as good as it looked!!
