I found this recipe while browsing one day and decided to try it. My gosh -- it is so good! It is now a favorite of all my family. I make it all the time and it always a hit. I recently made it for a dinner group we are involved in and again, rave reviews -- I ended up sending the recipe home with one of the couples. Try it -- you won't be disappointed I promise you!

This had a new twist so I thought I would try it. It was great! I think that nuts, sweet fruit, and cheese are a beautiful conbination.

This was refreshing but it lacked something. Maybe I'll add some crumbled blue cheese next time.

I just tried this salad and it was incredibly good. So good in fact that my boyfriend and I ate the whole thing in one sitting. That was the first time that ever happened with a salad. I did make the substitution of using balsamic vinegar and only used one tablespoon of sugar. What a delicious meal. Next time I plan on using spinach instead of lettuce. This salad is a definite must try for anyone considering it.

This salad is a wonderful new twist for me. The dressing is so good that I now keep a batch made in the fridge for other salads.

This was a really tasty salad. I made it without pecans, since my boyfriend is allergic to nuts. It's a very refreshing salad that is perfect for summer!

This is a wonderful salad...Even the men like it. It is very pretty and refreshingly cool and light. Just make sure the avocados are ripe or it will be bitter.

Delicious. The first time I went to make this salad, I did not have honey or cider vinegar, so I replaced them with balsamic vinegar. It was great!

This salad is yummy! I gave it 4 stars because I think the dressing was a little sweet. I will definitely try it again, half the sweeteners, and maybe with a little goat cheese or something to give it a slight bite.

This salad was amazing! I brought it to a party and it got rave reviews. I used lettuce from my garden and strawberries that I had picked the day before - so good! The only change I made was that I didn't have pecans on hand and I used toasted walnuts instead. I bet it would taste great with some goat cheese on it like others recommended, although I didn't make it that way.

My girlfriend and I went strawberry picking this past weekend and I printed out several recipes from this site. Being a huge avocado lover and having 11 pounds of freshly picked strawberries, I decided this was one of the dishes I would try. I have to admit, I've been using this site for years now and this is the recipe that made me register and finally post a review. All I can say is that this has to be one of the best recipes I have ever tried. The combination of the Avocado and strawberries was breathtaking. The way the pecan matched perfectly with the dressing and the fruit was perfection. I listened to some of the other reviewers and halfed the sugar for the dressing, which was plenty sweet. The only addition I would make would be to add goat cheese. This is simply a preference but the salad was lacking that tarty goodness that goat cheese brings to the table. All in all, this recipe was excellant. My girlfriend ended up making the salad again for her family on Father's day, which everyone loved.
