Strawberry, Melon & Avocado Salad
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar (may sub red-wine vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped of fresh mint
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 cups Baby Spinach
- 1 small avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 16 slices (4-5 ounces)
- 16 thin slices cantaloupe, rind removed (about 1/2 small cantaloupe)
- 1 1/2 cups hulled strawberries, sliced
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tip)
- Whisk honey, vinegar, mint, pepper and salt in a small bowl. (You can make this dressing up 1 day ahead if necessary).
- Divide spinach among 4 salad plates. Arrange alternating slices of avocado and cantaloupe in a fan on top of the spinach. Top each salad with strawberries, drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Tip: To toast sesame seeds, heat a small dry skillet over low heat. Add sesame seeds and stir constantly until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
