Instructions
Perfect strawberry summer salad looks like this: take 2 cups of spring mix salad and cut it to smaller pieces. I typically use my food scissors – saves so much time! Add crushed pecans – this is one of my favorite parts – I just love to crush fresh pecans with my pestle! Follow with 2 spoons of salad topping with sunflower and pumpkin seed and cranberries. I like my pecans and topping in glass jars with wood lids in a pantry. I add some chives, cilantro, dill and shallots. Then comes The Queen of this salad – Strawberry 🍓- I love slicing it with this super cool razor cup. It serves as slicing and measuring tool simultaneously – genius idea! Vuala! Sprinkle with some feta cheese – I recommend to take feta in a bulk it is way more moistures, add extra virgin olive oil, glaze with a bit of balsamic, add a touch of salt. Mix gently, but do not overmix. I use these wood salad hands for mixing. Enjoy! Perfect for summer time! Thank God we have summer time all year round in Arizona:) Follow for more healthy and easy recipes!

I use spring mis salad leafs. Two cups. I start with the salad leaves on purpose for two reasons: first, I am going to cut them with my food sensors, so that they are smaller pieces and easy to eat with a fork; second – when making salads like this I like to put all ingredients on top of salad leaves, because while I cook entire meal salad leaves have some time to rest and react with other ingredients before I. mix them altogether. Just my random observation, lifehack.
Then comes one of my favorite parts – crushing pecans with my marble pestle. Umm, I just love to see how oily and fresh pecans are when I crush them. Delicious!
Then I add 2-3 table spoons of salad topping. You can find the one I use in my groceries list, everything is linked below.
Then goes my home made greenery mix 2-3 table spoons. It is so flavorful and full of life! Umm! I reveal the recipe in a separate post here.
Now when I have all major components together time to add some olive oil, salt and pepper. At your taste and by eye:)
Now it’s time for feta. I use feta in a bulk as I fell it is more boisterous in a bulk, what I personally prefer better. And I like to crush it myself:) And then I do final glazing – little bit of balsamic. Be careful, it is very important – I use balsamic glazing always! Not balsamic vinegar. There is huge difference!

Being happy to help you surround yourself with quality and cozy atmospheric details in your everyday life, I am a strong believer that less in more, and preach that we do not need a lot of various decors in our lives to express ourselves or comfy us.
Stuffed shelves and open surfaces in homes only create a lot of visual noise which distracts.
I also believe that a wise mixture of quality close to nature textured sensor friendly materials indulge human eye and soul.

My Most Loved Outdoor Exterior Lights at the Moment
These outdoor lights exceeded my expectations for sure – material, details, quality, size, fit, installation, maintenance, design – immaculate! One word – one feeling – perfect;) Absolute love! Matte black metal about 13 inch height and 7 inch width with layered design and hidden bulbs create soft ambient chic lighting on the façade. We were anxious that the light will be pretty dark because the lights are just metal, but actually these lights are brighter than our older facade lights, and they are dimmable. I have four and I want more, but I have no surface to place them yet:)
