summer salad

Strawberries:

A study by Cincinnati researchers has shown that strawberries influence metabolism as well as cognitive performance. The fruits’s benefits could come from anthocyanins, antioxidant compounds known to decrease inflammation, including in the brain. In Colorado, strawberries are in season June - October.

SPINACH:

In Colorado, spinach is in season April - May and October - November. As I’m writing this, I realize that this isn’t the best green to be called a “summer salad”!
