You will love the contrast of the salty, flavor-packed blue cheese against the natural sweetness of strawberries in this lovely salad, which boasts a simple, but dynamite honey and poppyseed dressing!

Chef’s Tips:

• Avocados are not essential for this recipe as there is so much going on flavor-wise, but I love the creaminess they bring. They are also an excellent source of fiber and healthy fats.
• You may need to salt the salad conservatively as blue cheese tends to be quite salty.
