Strawberry and Avocado Salad with Strawberry Balsamic Dressing

March 20, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 18 Comments

Happy First Day of SPRING!!!!

Woohoo!  So happy Spring is finally here!!  As you can tell from the past couple of weeks, that I have been on a spring berry kick!  I can’t get enough, so be prepared for lots of berry recipes!  I just love these sweet little darlings!!  So with berries in mind and berry picking coming closer and closer to us, I am going to share with you a light, healthy, quick and easy Strawberry and Avocado Salad with a no oil Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing.

Strawberry and Avocado Salad

This salad is simply amazing!  It’s so full of flavor considering there isn’t very many ingredients.  You have the sweet goodness of strawberries, creaminess from the avocado and goat cheese and a slight tang from the strawberry balsamic dressing.  Oh and I can’t forget the little added pepper taste from the arugula   It’s simply fantastic and would make for a wonderful light lunch salad.

Strawberry and Avocado Salad


The dressing is very easy to make too!  It’s made with fresh strawberries, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of stevia.  I processed it all in the food processor and to make it seedless I ran it through my sieve.  I used the back of my spoon to push all of the yumminess through.  I don’t mind the seeds or if it were to be a little chunky, but not everyone is like me, so for you I made it nice and smooth.

Strawberry and Avocado Salad

I have to tell you I love this salad.  I had it for dinner the other night and it was perfectly filling.  I think it’s going to be the rest of this weeks lunch salads.  If you wanted it to be your main dish, you could always toss in some grilled chicken.  That would be a fabulous addition to this salad.  Yum!!!  Oh and since Easter is right around the corner, this would make a great salad to serve to your family or guests, or heck, just make it for yourself, like I did!  🙂

Well my Friends, time to celebrate the first day of Spring!  Yah!!   I am off to make another berry recipe!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!!!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Strawberry season is just starting now for us. I got some in my CSA box. Oddly enough July is peaches and plums. That’s one thing about living in CA. You get your produce early. Hoping for a good season. I heard there has been strawberry crop issues. Crossing fingers we have some this year!!

I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
