I love to combine fresh summer strawberries with salad ingredients both for colour and taste. In addition it requires no cooking! This is unusual salad tastes great with cold meats, fish or even crumbled goat’s cheese. Idea as part of a BBQ, buffet side dish or just enjoy it as it is.


Actually this salad is extremely nutritious with avocados that provide nearly 20 essential nutrients including fibre, potassium, vitamin E, B and folic acid and strawberries that helps the heart, lowers the risk of some cancers and blood pressure. Spinach and peppers are equally beneficial and are also on the superfood healthy eating list.
