Great recipe - light and fresh. I cut back on the sugar - next time I might eliminate it. Entire family loved it!

LOVED this! Made it for the first time and took it to a dinner party... everyone loved it! Quick and simple to throw together and tasted wonderful! One of my new favorites. My husband that doesn't like avocado even liked it!

Amazing salad! So delicious. I used a baby blend of spinach and romaine. At first bite the vinegar takes precedence, but the flavors mellow and it is all great together. I love the creaminess of the avocado with the rest of the textures. The olive oil made this a little oily, but I think I used too much dressing on mine when I drizzled it is all. Great salad, pretty too. Thanks, this is a keeper!

I confess I made this prepared not to like it. I don't like "sweet" in my salad - ever. I only made this as I am leaving town tomorrow and am desperately trying to use things up so as not to waste them. Knowing I don't like anything sweet in either the salad or the dressing, I immediately knew I would eliminate the sugar in the recipe altogether, thinking the honey itself would make this plenty sweet enough. I was right--it was "just right" sweet. What I was NOT right about was how I would dislike this--yes, I was wrong! I'm a convert! This was absolutely delicious! What a wonderful and tasty surprise! This salad is not only lovely to look at, but the buttery mushiness of the avocado, the sweet tang of the strawberries, the crispness of the greens, the nutty crunch of the pecans and the smooth, slightly sweet honey and lemony goodness of the dressing (I made it a point to get it all in one mouthful) is an extraordinary combination of flavors unlike any I've ever tasted. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks, and if it wasn't for the fact that I was cleaning out the fridge I would have never known it!

This was incredible! I substituted balsamic vinager for honey and apple cider vinager. It kicked but! Definitely will make it again.

If you are a fan of avocados and strawberries, you need to make this! The dressing is delicious and wasn't too sweet for me or my husband. I added feta cheese.

This recipe was great! I'm not a big avocado fan, but I loved it. I used baby spinach, almonds and white wine vinegar (that's all I had)... Very tasty!

Wonderfully refreshing. This salad has the perfect combination of flavors, the slight sweet and citrus salad dressing, the sweet strawberries, and the cool and creamy avocado.

Very good salad! Loved the dressing, but agreed with another reviewer about adding some goat cheese next time for a little more oomph. Will definitely make this again!
