Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2.5 ounces baby arugula
  • 2.5 ounces baby spinach
  • 1.5 cups ripe strawberries trimmed and chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and sliced
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup pickled red onions
  • 1/4 cup raw shelled pistachios

Strawberry Vinaigrette:

  • 2/3 cup ripe strawberries chopped
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1.5 Tbsp honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1.5 Tbsp stone ground mustard or dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • If making the pickled red onions, prepare them first! They will take some time to pickle.
  • While your onions are pickling, prepare the vinaigrette. To do so, add all ingredients to a small blender and blend until thick and smooth. Keep it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
  • Once you have your pickled red onions and vinaigrette ready, add the remaining salad ingredients to a large serving bowl. Add in desired amount of pickled red onions and strawberry vinaigrette. Toss everything together until well-combined and serve!
