Strawberry Avocado Summer Salad (GF)

This summer salad brings together sweet strawberry, peppery arugula, and creamy avocado for a bright, satisfying side or main dish.

Notes

- If arugula is not readily available, you can substitute with a milder lettuce, such as butter, sweet leaf, or even spinach.

- This salad would also taste delicious with the addition of sweet summer corn, even cut fresh and added raw.

- Salad should be made right before serving.
