The classic strawberry spinach salad makes a big appearance in my house in spring. I actually count down the days until we can pick fresh strawberries- there is nothing better! The strawberries we pick are so sweet that they could be dessert all by themselves, and I'm definitely not a person who usually considers fruit to be dessert. To give this salad a special twist, drizzle on the black pepper buttermilk dressing. It's so creamy and tangy. In fact it's SO good that sometimes | use it as a dip for any fresh fruit. This salad is crunchy and fresh. You can swap out the greens based on what you have, but the other ingredients are pretty standard: strawberries, avocado, and shallot. It's a tradition here and a great one to bring to a picnic or party.
