Strawberry & Avocado Salad with Sesame Seed Dressing
Strawberries are back in season. When shopping for strawberries look for dry, firm, ripe red berries. Berries do not ripen once picked, so avoid the white ones. Shake the box, the berries should move freely. If they don’t, you may have a rotten one. Check the bottom of the box for fruit stains; try to get one without them. Look for organic berries grown in the US.
