California Avocado Rose Salad Instructions:
- Slice an avocado in half crosswise, remove the pit, carefully peel the skin off. Then lay one half flat-side side down on a cutting board. Starting at one end and using a sharp knife, carefully thinly slice the avocado from top to bottom (vertically across). Then, gently start to spread out the slices between your fingers turning it into a long avocado chain. Starting at one end, start to spiral it up to form a rose.
- Add the avocado roses on top, with the lemon zest and fresh basil. Then serve.
Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing Instructions:
- Add the strawberries, olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup salt, and pepper into a blender. Increase speed from low to high until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, grilled asparagus, beets, fresh strawberries, vegan feta, and pecans.
- Set aside until ready to dress the salad.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy as a side dish, or add a protein of your choice, such as grilled chicken, to create a delicious, well-balanced meal.
Beverage Pairing: Pair with a glass of refreshing sparkling water.
