I love a berry salad, specially in the summer when berries are at their peak, fresh and delicious. Juicy sweet strawberries, crunchy cucumbers and radishes, a little jalepeno heat, peppery arugula, sliced almonds all come together in this elegant salad. The combination of strawberries, almonds and balsamic is match made in heaven and I promise you&#8217;ll love it. I have already made this a few times now and its ready to be shared with friends and family over the Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter
