Strawberry, Avocado & Asiago Spring Salad

 

This salad is life changing. In this Strawberry, Avocado & Asiago Spring Salad fresh flavors come together in each & every bite.

Lately I’ve been back to craving somewhat lighter foods ~ lots of salads all the time. After all, it’s almost time to run around in a bikini right?!

This salad is inspired by one of my all time favorites at The Osprey hotel in Beaver Creek. This is my riff on the fabulous chef David Burton Sanchez’s recipe.

David was not such a fan of me tossing a handful of capers into this, but I love ’em and went for it anyway. You my friends, can make the choice whether or not to use them in your salad. Completely optional.

Chef uses a gorgeous Champagne Vinaigrette in his salad.

I used my Lemon Honey Dressing. Adding a somewhat sweet, citrusy dressing balances the flavors perfectly. He uses goat cheese, in mine is asiago. Get creative folks!

You can also throw in some candied pecans, as they do at the hotel.

This salad is light and refreshing, yet very satisfying.

Perfect for any time of the year. Not just spring.

I enjoyed this often for lunch on my ski breaks. But you can also whip this up for warm weather picnics & BBQ’s.
