Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad
This seasonal Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad is a favorite in my family. The tangy, soft goat cheese pairs perfectly with fresh strawberries, and the peppery arugula that's a great compliment to the creamy avocado. It's a delicious salad that's perfect for spring and summer months.
