Good to know

Chef's tip

For a citrusy touch, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the salad just before serving. You can also lightly toast the pecans to bring out their flavor.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Not recommended at all. Strawberries, avocados, spinach, arugula, and feta don't tolerate freezing; total loss of texture and flavor.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Avocado oxidizes and browns quickly. Strawberries soften and release juice. Salad greens wilt quickly.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

For the same reasons as batch cooking. The ingredients lose texture, color, and flavor.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, it is a cold salad to be eaten fresh.

Variations

Add lightly toasted crushed pecans.
Sprinkle with fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately, well chilled.

Mistakes to avoid

Mashing the avocados while tossing: toss gently.
Not drying the leaves well: dry the spinach and arugula thoroughly.
Dressing too far ahead: pour on the vinaigrette at the last moment.
