I love tea. It’s just so fun.

I find it easier and faster to make than coffee, it is a perfect morning drink and and it was an easy switch from coffee.

Growing up my mom and I would go to restaurants where they serve traditional tea time with sandwiches, salads, scones and other goodies. To be honest it is one of my favorite memories.

Good thing we still do it!

We also make our own tea style lunches at home, too. It’s perfect for a lunch with my daughters on the weekend or just to invite my mom over to get a little spoiled any day of the week.

I was pretty stoked when Bigelow tea and Truvia wanted me to make a tea time recipe so I headed out to my local Target to pick up the ingredients for my Spinach and Strawberry Salad with Chocolate Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Grab some Truvia in the baking aisle of you local Target

I picked up both Bigelow’s Earl Grey and Constant Comment In the beverage aisle at Target.

This is a perfect recipe for light lunch! And I love using Truvia in order to cut down on the sugar in the recipe (I used it to sweeten the strawberries and in the dressing). It’s also great for sweetening any Bigelow tea.
