Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 cup strawberries
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup feta cheese (optional)

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the baby spinach leaves. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Rinse and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and mandarin orange segments to the salad bowl with the spinach.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad. If desired, sprinkle the salad with feta cheese and chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake the dressing until emulsified.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy!
