Print Recipe

A fresh and vibrant salad combining juicy strawberries and creamy avocado, tossed in a simple honey-lime dressing. Perfect for a quick, light meal or side dish during spring and summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups mixed greens or baby spinach (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup/agave nectar for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • A pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or basil (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted nuts like pecans or almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries under cold water and pat dry. Hull and slice into halves or quarters.
  2. Cut avocado in half lengthwise, remove pit, scoop out flesh, and dice into bite-sized pieces.
  3. If using, rinse and spin dry mixed greens or baby spinach and place in a salad bowl.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together honey, fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly thickened.
  5. Add sliced strawberries and diced avocado to the greens (if using). Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly without mashing the avocado.
  6. Sprinkle chopped fresh mint or basil and toasted nuts on top. Toss lightly again.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and prevent avocado browning.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushiness. Whisk or shake dressing well to emulsify. Toss salad gently to keep avocado chunks intact. Serve immediately to prevent browning. Toast nuts for extra crunch. Dressing can be made ahead and tossed just before serving.
