A fantastic salad to bring to a back yard BBQ or to have meal prepped for a quick lunch, this versatile dish will be a hit wherever you serve it. From the sweet juiciness of the strawberries to the salty tang of the feta and the crunch of the pistachios, every element of this recipe complements the others. I love using a ton of herbs when I cook, so I add a cup of mint to this mix. If you aren't as big on herbs you can add less or also substitute the mint for parsley, basil, or even cilantro.
