Ingredients

  • 6 packed cups baby spinach
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1/3 cup asiago cheese, grated
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • Honey Lime Dressing:
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 3 fresh limes
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small mason jar or bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, honey, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Shake or whisk until fully emulsified.
  2. In a large salad bowl, add baby spinach, sliced strawberries, diced avocado, grated asiago cheese, and chopped pecans.
  3. Gently toss the salad ingredients to evenly distribute.
  4. Drizzle the honey lime dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to coat without mashing the avocado.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • For best freshness, store dressing separately and toss just before serving.
  • Toss diced avocado with extra lime juice to slow browning.
  • Lightly toast pecans in a dry skillet for 3–5 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  • Swap asiago with feta for a tangier flavor.
  • Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Store salad components in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; dressing keeps up to 4 days.
