    • Nutty and slightly sweet sherry vinegar is a natural partner for strawberries. This composed salad makes a cool kickoff for dinner or a nutrition-packed lunch on its own.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

      • 1/4 cup honey
      • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
      • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
      • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
      • Pinch of salt
      • 4 cups baby spinach
      • 1 small avocado (4-5 ounces), peeled, pitted and cut into 16 slices
      • 16 thin slices cantaloupe (about 1/2 small cantaloupe), rind removed
      • 1 1/2 cups hulled strawberries, sliced
      • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tip)

    Directions

    1. Whisk honey, vinegar, mint, pepper and salt in a small bowl.

    2. Divide spinach among 4 salad plates. Arrange alternating slices of avocado and cantaloupe in a fan on top of the spinach. Top each salad with strawberries, drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    Tip: To toast sesame seeds, heat a small dry skillet over low heat. Add sesame seeds and stir constantly until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
