Strawberry Avocado Salad

Monday, April 26, 2010

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.

Strawberry Avocado Salad


1/4 c. white sugar
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. honey
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 tsp. lemon juice
4 c. torn salad greens
2 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced or cubed
20 strawberries, sliced
1 c. chopped pecans or sliced almonds

In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, vinegar, and lemon juice. Set aside. Place the salad greens in a bowl, and top with sliced or cubed avocado and strawberries. Drizzle dressing salad. Sprinkle with pecans or almonds. Toss lightly. Serve immediately.
