Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad

 Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share a quick spring salad recipe today. Strawberries have been on sale at the grocery store lately– $2.49 for a large box! What a deal!  We’ve been including them in our salads lately to add a touch of sweet flavor. I made this spinach salad when Nick was gone for the evening and it was delicious! 

The dressing is a simple vinaigrette that I whisked together when I found some pear-infused white wine vinegar at Wal-Mart. The second I saw it on the shelf I had to try it out! The vinegar had just enough of sweet and sour. It tasted great mixed with olive oil and honey.

I think berries are my favorite fruit, strawberries being my most favorite. I get so happy when I see strawberries on sale, I load up and try to add them to any dish that I can.

Here’s how you can whip up this easy springtime salad!
