Ingredients

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 avocado, diced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large salad bowl, start by adding the mixed greens as the base for your salad.

    Add the Fruits: Layer the sliced strawberries over the mixed greens, and then add the diced avocado for creaminess.

      Incorporate Vegetables: Sprinkle the thinly sliced red onion on top, which will add a zing to the salad.

        Add Salmon: Gently arrange the smoked salmon slices on top of the salad. The salmon adds a rich flavor and protein to the dish.

          Cheese and Nuts: Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and add the toasted walnuts or pecans for a nice crunch.

            Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

              Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad, using as much or as little as you like. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are well coated but not overly squished.

                Garnish: If desired, garnish the salad with fresh basil leaves for an herby finish.

                  Serve: Divide the salad into serving bowls, and enjoy this healthy and vibrant meal!
