An easy, fresh salad with a twist, the strawberry and avocado salad is perfect. It combines the sweetness of the fruit with the creaminess of the avocado in a light dish that is quick to prepare.
Ingredients
(Serves 2–3)
- 200–250 g strawberries, washed and sliced
- 1 large avocado, diced
- A handful of leafy greens (rocket, spinach, or mixed lettuce)
- 30–50 g cheese (feta, goat cheese, mozzarella), optional
- A handful of nuts, almonds, or seeds (optional)
For the Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Wash and slice the strawberries.
- Peel and dice the avocado into medium cubes.
- In a large bowl, place the leafy greens, then add the strawberries and avocado.
- Add the cheese and nuts if you are using them.
- In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, vinegar (or lemon), honey, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing just before serving and mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
