A simple romaine lettuce salad filled with strawberries, blackberries, tomatoes, avocado, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. This avocado tomato berry salad is delicious, fresh, and filled with every day ingredients.
A couple days ago I shared with you my Strawberry Citrus Yogurt Dressing. So of course, today, I have to share with you a salad to go with that salad dressing, right?
I love gourmet salads. I’m not really into simple salads like Caesar or even the classic Garden salad. I want my salads to be filled with a ton of ingredients. Like fresh fruits, dried fruits, nuts, proteins, cheese. You know, everything. And if you know me, you’ll also know that I love eating in color too.
Have you been to salad buffets? Like California Fresh (formerly Fresh Choice) or Sweet Tomatoes? They have salad bars with so many different ingredients that you can add to your plate. I used to go to these all the time in college. Probably because I have this weird love for buffets. It’s not because I could eat as much as I want. Most of the time, I probably don’t eat my money’s worth. It’s more because I can pick whatever I want. And I think it could be a fun social event. Am I the only one who feels this way?
Oh wells.
Anyway, when I make salads, it’s all about the various fresh ingredients I can add to them. In this particular salad, I added bite size pieces of romaine lettuce, two different types of tomatoes, avocado, strawberries, blackberries, walnuts. And if I had raspberries and blueberries on hand, I would totally add them too. That doesn’t mean you can’t =)
And salads are sooo easy to make. It’s all about washing, cutting, and tossing.
Then of course, the drizzle of the salad dressing.
Enjoy!

Fabulous Fare Sisters
Your recipes are always bright and colourful. I wish I could feel the taste here, but anyway, just get happy with the mouth watering 🙂
I also like a salad filled to the brim with ingredients. The less I can even recognize it as a salad, the better. This salad looks absolutely divine!
Thanks, Jessica!
What a great combination of flavors or this salad Andrea! Love it 🙂
Thanks, Linda!
Nothing like a good southern beet salad. 🙂
BTW, For some reason, I can no longer download your “Like” button on any of our devices both Mac and Windows.
I’ll have to try a southern beet salad, then. =) It looks like the Like button works on my end, but I’ll see if I can find the problem. Thanks for letting me know, Ray!
Everything else loads fine. It’s just the like button. I’d say that it was on my end, but for once there are no other problems.
