Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the green stems and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- Avocado: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Cut the avocado into bite-sized cubes.
- Spinach: Rinse the spinach under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- Pecans: If your pecans are whole or in large pieces, chop them roughly into smaller pieces.
- In a large salad bowl, place the 4 cups of spinach as the base.
- Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries over the spinach.
- Add the cubed avocado to the bowl.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the salad.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure an even distribution.
- Optionally, you can add your favorite dressing for extra flavor. A simple balsamic vinaigrette or a lemon-honey dressing pairs well with this salad.

Tips:
- Use ripe but firm strawberries and avocado to ensure a perfect texture combination.
- Toast the pecans lightly to enhance their flavor and add a satisfying crunch to the salad.
- Consider adding a light vinaigrette made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately after preparing to ensure the spinach stays crisp and the avocado does not brown.
- Feel free to add other complementary ingredients like feta cheese, red onion, or grilled chicken for added protein.
