Homemade Lemonade

When my sister and I were younger, we used to play outside for hours! We always knew that there would be a giant Kool-Aid man pitcher filled with lemonade waiting for us when we came inside. As much as I loved the powdered lemonade mix, I wanted to find something that had less preservatives and artificial sweeteners/flavors. This recipe for freshly squeezed lemonade is to die for.

If you have leftover strawberries from my Strawberry Chicken Salad, pulverize in a blender until smooth, and add about a Tablespoon of strawberry puree to a glass of lemonade. If that doesn't scream summer, I don't know what does!
