As spring winds down and strawberry season is coming to an end, we're having our last fling with Spring.  Chef Azuki and I went to the grocery store today and just had to get the delicious looking berries that were on sale.  And just like that, Chef Azuki's mind began whirring and she created this refreshing and fantastically beautiful salad.  This is the perfect potluck salad!
