Strawberry Avocado Salad

We are BIG time avocado lovers in our family. The following is a unique recipe, pairing two ingredients that compliment each other perfectly. The sweetness of the strawberry brings out the buttery flavor of the avocado. The opposing textures of the strawberries and avocado allow each ingredient to stand out separately in this refreshing salad.
