Like other reviewers' suggested, I cut back the sugar in the dressing to only 1 Tbs. It was still a bit gritty from the sugar so I popped it in the microwave for 15 seconds or so to dissolve the sugar. I also added one thick slice of red onion, finely chopped, for some more depth of flavor. If you are using one bag of salad greens, you might want to double the dressing ingedients. Also, if your avocado is on the small side, you might want to consider using 2 avocados. Hubby loved it!

When I make this salad I use spring mix, add blueberries and roast the pecans. It is delicious. I have taken it several places and everyone loves it and wants the recipe.

The dressing was sweet and tangy. I thought the avocadoes were the perfect touch.

Nice combination of strawberry and avocado with a sweet dressing...used walnuts and balsamic vinegar instead of pecans and apple cider vinegar.

YUMMY! I made this as a starter for our Easter diner and everone LOVED it! I substitued the pecans for pine nuts and used baby spinach as my greens. It's a keeper.

I tried this one on Valentine's night for the first time & it was wonderful! I roasted the pecnas in a cast iron skillet for a little extra flavor,and my husband had 2 helpings before digging into the main course. We'll have it as a filler w/grilled chicken early Easter afternoon and save the big meal for later that evening.

The dressing was so light and delicious -- just slightly sweet which I really like. I loved the combination of strawberries and avocados. Very tasty!

This is as good as it sounds. Not really amazing, but very tasty and very healthy. We had this fruit and sauce over spring-mix, but we think it would taste better over spinach.
