mix all together and chill.

Spinach Salad
Baby organic spinach
honey tomatoes

Freya put these together

Total cost around $20.00.

I found one problem was having a big enough pot to stir all 3 family sized dinner portions of pasta together. It got kind of messy. But our dog was happy. These recipes are for cold items on a very hot day. Oh, the organic strawberries were a really good price at Costco today, so that's why they were added.
