METHOD

Combine the vinaigrette ingredients in a cup or small bowl.

Toss the greens, avocado, strawberries, pomegranate seeds, and pine nuts in a large mixing bowl. Toss in the dressing until evenly coated. Divide the mixture between two bowls and serve immediately.

VARIATION

Add cooked chickpeas, Quick Bacon Crumbles, or Chile-Roasted Tofu to liven up the salad or make it more of a main course. A sprinkle of Pepita Parmesan never hurt anyone, either.
