Strawberry avocado salad combines sweet berries with creamy avocado for a fresh side dish that’s ready in minutes. It’s ideal when you need something light and colorful to round out dinner.

The combination works because the mild avocado balances the strawberries’ sweetness, while a simple vinaigrette ties everything together.

Choosing Ripe Avocados Without the Wait

You need avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren’t mushy. If yours are too firm, place them in a paper bag with a banana overnight – the ethylene gas speeds ripening.

For this salad, slightly firmer avocados actually work better than very soft ones. They’ll hold their shape when tossed with the dressing and won’t turn to mush if you have leftovers.
