The combination of sweet and tangy flavors from the strawberries and oranges, the crunch from the walnuts, and the creaminess of the avocado make this salad a delicious and nutritious explosion of flavors.

To make this salad, you will need the following ingredients:

  • Mixed greens
  • Strawberries

How to store it

If you have any leftover salad, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. However, keep in mind that the avocado may brown over time, so it is best to add it just before serving.
