Tonight I made a Strawberry Avocado Salad to go with our veggie burgers for dinner. I've been on a quest to turn the oven on as little as possible on these streak of warm days we've had. This salad is a great idea in theory although I would change a couple things. I liked the dressing but it was too sweet for me. I advise leaving out the honey and adding it in if you think the dressing needs extra sweetness or cut it in half. I used natural honey which may have made a difference too. It also seemed a little liquidy to me so I'd say go light on the olive oil and add it in when you're whisking. It's very tasty--try it out!
