It's Strawberry season in Arkansas, so I just had to share this salad. You can easily do it as a main dish. Super easy and super packed with healthy foods and healthy fats. I have had it for dinner and lunch. And sometimes if other berries look good I throw them in too. This is a good one to keep in your "easy and healthy" pile. The recipe below makes two dinner salads. You can adjust accordingly. We sometimes leave out the onion too.
Avocado Strawberry Spinach Salad with Balsamic Dressing
- 6 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 pint strawberries, sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 4 ounces crumbled feta or goat cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (again I cheat and buy these in the produce section, pre-sliced and pre-toasted)
- half a small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
For dressing:
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- one tablespoon Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- Wisk together dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
- Layer two bowls splitting ingredients in half with spinach, strawberries, avocados, almonds and cheese.
- Top with dressing and enjoy.
**Makes 2 servings
**2 on B's dish scale. Bowls you eat out of and a cutting board!
