First place winner of the 2009 Craze-E contest. I created this simple yet sophisticated salad in the spirit of Mark Bittman's minimalist column in the NY Times. To dress up the presentation (though it's quite pretty as is), serve over a bed of greens. If you want to make it low calorie, replace the apple cider vinegar, sugar, and olive oil with one ingredient: a good balsamic vinegar.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Salad

4 large strawberries, sliced (stems removed)
1 medium avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons walnuts, coarsely chopped, toasted
2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled

Vinaigrette

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1
Whisk all vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl.
2
Divide strawberries and avocado evenly into two individual salad bowls.
3
Drizzle approximately one tablespoon of vinaigrette over each.
4
Top each salad with a tablespoon of walnuts and a tablespoon of feta.

A really nice salad. It has all the elements I like in a salad - contrasting flavors/textures and a little crunch. Great job!

I loved the dressing for this salad. I used fresh tarragon from the garden instead of dried. The presentation was lovely. It wasn't as well received by the family as I'd hoped, however. Made for Craze-E Contest

Very pretty and colourful, and couldn't be easier to make. However, my taste buds felt it needed something...not exactly sure what though. You don't want anything too strong because you don't want to overpower the avocado nor the strawberries. I thought the tarragon would be enough, but maybe I need to increase the amount. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for submitting such a creative entry, and good luck in the contest.

I really loved this salad. . .made it 3 time already. I made it as written the first time and then the following 2 times I subbed dried basil for the tarragon. Also used almonds one time and candied pecans another. . .they were each good!
