An easy Paleo Strawberry Avocado Salad recipe that is the perfect kickoff to the warmer months! This salad comes baring fresh fruit like strawberries, pineapple and avocado, and the creamy strawberry & lime vinaigrette could not be more refreshing!
I must say that I've been negligent in the salad making department lately. It's not that I haven't been making them. It's just that… well, they've been everything short of fabulous. Most of the time, I'm too lazy to put something together and end up eating a big bed of arugula with a few tablespoons of homemade paleo ranch dressing. Lucky for me, I've got Taylor Farms coming to the rescue for this salad recipe.
ALL THE FRESH FRUIT
My favorite part about making a salad is including plenty of fresh fruit in the recipe. This is especially true for this particular Paleo Strawberry Avocado Salad. The farmhouse bacon chopped salad kit itself includes many delicious ingredients like:
- Green cabbage
- Kale
- Romaine lettuce
- Carrots
- Red cabbage
- Roasted sunflower seeds
- Green onions
- Bacon
After adding the fresh strawberries, pineapple and avocado, this salad is absolute perfection. I've topped it off with more fresh herbs, green onions and black sesame seeds. Get ready to be blown away! Oh, and let's not forget about the vibrant pink dressing… I'll fill you in on that below.
On the note of fresh strawberries, here are some tips on how to store strawberries to maximize freshness.
Why does the dressing look like it would make the perfect ice cream topping? Well, it's made up of fresh strawberries and lime, and it is absolutely fan-flipping-'tastic!
This salad and accompanying dressing just scream "summer!"
The flavor combination in the dressing may start making an appearance a lot more frequently on my salad creations.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
10 MINUTES or LESS
The best part about making this salad is that it won't take you long… at all. In fact, 10 minutes is being generous.
That's the beauty of using this pre-made Farmhouse Bacon Chopped Salad kit.
The easiest way to get your hands on it is to use the store locator here.
Luckily,
Taylor Farms is available at most major grocery stores all over the country. Just after receiving these salad kits in the mail, I stumbled across an entire array of their product line at my local Sprouts and Baron's markets. Woo hoo!
