I had some avocados that needed finishing and since I had recently enjoyed using them in a salad I was thinking that another salad would be a good idea. Strawberries are in season so I had a bunch of them on hand and the idea of a strawberry and avocado spinach salad was born. I thought that salty bacon and tangy blue cheese would go well with the creamy avocados and sweet and juicy strawberries. I also had some fresh peas on hand I could couldn't think of a reason to not throw them into the salad as well. One of the things that I like about salads is that they generally don't require much cooking. Although I had to cook the bacon for this salad the rest was as easy as slicing a few things. The strawberry and avocado spinach salad was really good! I enjoyed using the avocados and strawberries in a salad once again. I will have to remember to use fresh peas in salads more ofter as well.
