  • 2 ripe avocados diced
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens spinach, arugula, or lettuce
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup cucumber sliced
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves chopped

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Bowl or Jar

Method
 

  1. Wash and prepare all fresh ingredients. Hull and slice the strawberries, dice the avocados, and thinly slice the red onion and cucumber.
  2. Place the mixed salad greens in a large serving bowl to create a fresh base for the salad.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries, diced avocados, cucumber slices, and red onion evenly over the greens.
  4. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese over the salad for extra texture and flavor.
  5. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
  6. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad just before serving.
  7. Gently toss the salad to coat all ingredients with the dressing without crushing the avocado.
  8. Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped mint leaves on top for a bright and refreshing aroma.
  9. Serve immediately as a light lunch, side dish, or refreshing summer appetizer.

Notes

This salad is best served fresh to maintain the creamy texture of the avocado and the crispness of the greens. You can customize it with additional nuts, seeds, or grilled chicken for extra protein.
