Bright Spring Salad is a fresh and colorful dish filled with crisp greens, juicy strawberries, creamy avocado, and crunchy almonds tossed in a bright homemade dressing. This light and refreshing salad is perfect for spring lunches, picnics, or a vibrant side dish.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups mixed spring greens
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed spring greens, cucumber, radishes, strawberries, avocado, and peas.
  2. Sprinkle the feta cheese and toasted almonds evenly over the salad.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
  5. Toss gently to combine without crushing the ingredients.
  6. Serve immediately while fresh and crisp.

Notes

  • Add grilled chicken, shrimp, salmon, or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Use blueberries, raspberries, or orange segments for additional fruit variations.
  • For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • Store the salad and dressing separately for best freshness.
  • Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • This salad is best served chilled and freshly tossed.
