Strawberry Avocado Salad mixes sweet strawberries with creamy avocados, jicama for crunch. Tossed with lime juice and maple syrup, makes a salad or snack.
Visually stunning, this simple recipe for Strawberry Avocado Salad is also delicious. Tossed together in a matter of minutes, this could stand in as a dip served with cookies or crackers, served as a side salad or just eat it as a healthy snack. Start with sweet, deep colored strawberries and a ripe avocado. I wanted a nice crunch so I tossed in some diced jicama, but you could replace that with a tart apple like a Granny Smith. Finish it off with some lime juice, maple syrup and a dash of salt.
Serve Strawberry Avocado Salad the same day, but let the ingredients mingle in the refrigerator for an hour or so before serving. After I made this last night, my husband and I had a couple of tastes for critiquing and then my 11 year-old finished the rest. That’s as good a review as any verbal approval I could ask for.
