Arugula Strawberry Salad & Yogurt Chicken

This is such a great summer salad. It goes with everything, it is light and delicious and is so easy to throw together! I made it for my extended family over the weekend with flank steak and I made it for Chris and I with yogurt chicken last night! It will be a hit when you’re hosting and a hit paired with your favorite family recipe AKA yogurt chicken. Yogurt chicken is an oldie but goodie recipe that I forgot about until very recently. It is one of Chris’s very favorites and he requests regularly which works for me because it is super easy and healthy!

These two recipes paired with a glass (or bottle) of the new I am the Fabulous Mr. Pink sparkling rosé makes for a lovely summer meal. I am the Fabulous Mr. Pink is a spin on the Mark Ryan Underground Wine Project I am Mr. Pink rosé for PRIDE month and supports LGBQT organizations in Seattle. How great is that? I love buying a yummy bottle of wine (with a great label) that supports a local cause. Weirdly, I cannot find a single thing about the Fabulous Mr. Pink online, however, I bought it at Metropolitan Market and I will ask more about it next time I’m there – and grab another bottle of course!
