What You Need (Serving: 8)
For the Fresh Tarragon Dressing:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons golden balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon melted raw honey (OR 10 drops liquid stevia)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons fresh tarragon, minced
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt

For the Strawberry Spinach Salad:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 8 cups baby spinach
- 8 strawberries, sliced
- 2 avocados, pitted and cubed
- 2 Tablespoons sliced almonds
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients until they’re partying together in perfect harmony. Set this flavorful concoction aside for later.
- Heat things up! Grab a small skillet and put it over medium-high heat. Add a dash of olive oil and let it sizzle before throwing in those thinly sliced onions. Cook them up for 8-10 minutes, adding a splash of water halfway through to keep things interesting. When they’re soft and caramelized to perfection, take them off the heat and give them a round of applause. Set them aside – they’ve earned it.
- Now, it’s salad time! In a large bowl, toss the baby spinach with the Fresh Tarragon dressing, making sure every leaf gets a chance to mingle with that tasty goodness. Next, pile on the strawberries, avocado cubes, sliced almonds, and those superstar caramelized onions. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and black pepper on top, because why not?
