Avocado Strawberry Salad With Feta and Walnuts in a Tarragon Vin

"First place winner of the 2009 Craze-E contest. I created this simple yet sophisticated salad in the spirit of Mark Bittman's minimalist column in the NY Times. To dress up the presentation (though it's quite pretty as is), serve over a bed of greens. If you want to make it low calorie, replace the apple cider vinegar, sugar, and olive oil with one ingredient: a good balsamic vinegar."

  1. A really nice salad. It has all the elements I like in a salad - contrasting flavors/textures and a little crunch. Great job!
     
  2. I really loved this salad. . .made it 3 time already. I made it as written the first time and then the following 2 times I subbed dried basil for the tarragon. Also used almonds one time and candied pecans another. . .they were each good!
     
  3. I loved the dressing for this salad. I used fresh tarragon from the garden instead of dried. The presentation was lovely. It wasn't as well received by the family as I'd hoped, however. Made for Craze-E Contest
     
  4. Very pretty and colourful, and couldn't be easier to make. However, my taste buds felt it needed something...not exactly sure what though. You don't want anything too strong because you don't want to overpower the avocado nor the strawberries. I thought the tarragon would be enough, but maybe I need to increase the amount. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for submitting such a creative entry, and good luck in the contest.
     
  5. This is an easy summer salad. I used fresh tarragon for the dressing and it was delicious. Good luck in the contest.
