NEW Recipe: Strawberry & Avocado Salad

A Crowd Pleaser

Happy Friday Everyone!

Here is a great recipe I threw together and my roommates loved it! It’s a quick, fun salad that has a little of everything. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Strawberry & Avocado Salad w/ Orange Infused Balsamic Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

-1/2 lb. mixed greenz

-1/2 small cucumber (sliced)

-2 small vine ripe tomatoes (quartered)

-4 medium fresh strawberries (quartered)

-1/2 medium avocado, sliced

-edible flower petals (for garnish)

-3 tbsp. feta cheese (to sprinkle on last)

Dressing:

-Orange infused olive oil

-Balsamic Vinegar

-Salt & Pepper (optional)

For the dressing I use my best judgment for measuring. I lightly drizzle the olive oil over the prepared salad and then follow suit with the balsamic. I sprinkle feta last and add a touch of pepper only. You can add or subtract any ingredients, such as pine nuts, cranberries or goat cheese for an amazing dish! If you are vegetarian/vegan you can cut out the cheese. If you aren’t, you can add in grilled chicken or fish for a meal. You can buy these ingredients at the grocery store or if avaliable to you, the farmer’s market. Either one will do just fine. I attached some photos of my creation. I know, I’m a big nerd! Hope you enjoy it! Serves 4
