Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar (may sub red-wine vinegar)
2 tablespoons finely chopped of fresh mint
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 pinch salt
4 cups Baby Spinach
1 small avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 16 slices (4-5 ounces)
16 thin slices cantaloupe, rind removed (about 1/2 small cantaloupe)
1 1/2 cups hulled strawberries, sliced
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tip)

Steps:

  • Whisk honey, vinegar, mint, pepper and salt in a small bowl. (You can make this dressing up 1 day ahead if necessary).
  • Divide spinach among 4 salad plates. Arrange alternating slices of avocado and cantaloupe in a fan on top of the spinach. Top each salad with strawberries, drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Tip: To toast sesame seeds, heat a small dry skillet over low heat. Add sesame seeds and stir constantly until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. It's also a great source of healthy fats from the avocado.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some strawberries and melon that were about to go bad, so I threw them in this salad and it turned out great!

This salad was a refreshing and delicious summer treat! The combination of sweet strawberries and melon with creamy avocado and tangy lime dressing was perfect. I loved the crunch of the toasted pecans, too. I will definitely be making this again.
