How to make strawberry avocado salad
This recipe is simple to make! For the full set of directions, please scroll down to the recipe card below. This is just a general overview on how to make it to help you plan.
Cook the bacon.
- Start by cooking the bacon until crisp. I like to bake mine on a rimmed baking sheet for about 15 minutes at a 400 degree oven. You want it to be just crunchy.
- Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel and allow to cool.
- When the bacon is cool, crumble.
Mix the dressing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the greek yogurt, mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, poppy seeds and salt and pepper.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
Serve the salad.
- Wash, hull, and quarter the strawberries.
- Dice the avocado.
- Combine the spinach and lettuce and divide between the plates.
- Top each plate with equal portions of the crumbed bacon, quartered strawberries, diced avocados, and the sliced almonds.
- Drizzle on the dressing and enjoy!
