Summer Salad

This is my favorite salad for summer. Actually, it's good anytime of year, but it's especially wonderful now when the strawberries are so in season and delicious! 

The basic recipe is this:

spinach + sliced strawberries + crumbled goat cheese + caramelized pecans + cubed avacado + dressing = best summer salad 

In the salad I pictured here, I used a mix of spinach and other mixed greens, which works fine, too. 

I like to dress this salad with poppyseed dressing: 

But simply adding some olive oil, vinegar, and s&p can be nice, too.

And, you can turn it into a meal by adding quinoa (Lisa's recipe :)) Enjoy!
