Strawberry Avocado Salad

Ingredients

2 tablespoons white sugar (I cut back some on the sugar, but that is my preference)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups torn salad greens (I've also made this with spinich)
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
10 strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup chopped pecans (try toasting these in a pan for more crunch and flavor!)

Prep Time:
15 Minutes
Ready In:
15 Minutes

In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, honey, vinegar, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Place the salad greens in a pretty bowl, and top with sliced avocado and strawberries. Drizzle dressing over everything, then sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving, or serve immediately.
