This Vegan Spinach Avocado & Strawberry Salad makes a delicious light meal or BBQ side dish. Pecans and vegan bacon bits add richness and crunch, while the creamy balsamic dressing adds tanginess. Perfect for summer or any time of year!
If you need to make the vegan bacon bits and/or the balsamic dressing from scratch, do that first. (This will add about 15 to 20 minutes to the prep time).
Prep the veggies by peeling and slicing the onion into thin strips. Wash and hull the strawberries. Wash and dry the spinach (if you're not using pre-washed spinach). Cube the avocado.
Add the spinach, pecans, bacon bits, red onions, and dressing to a large bowl and toss to combine. Then add the strawberries and avocado. Gently toss to combine. Serve right away!
