# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Strawberries add a subtle sweetness that makes you forget you're eating your vegetables.
  • It comes together in 30 minutes flat, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or impromptu gatherings.
  • The combination of textures—creamy, crunchy, soft, tangy—keeps every bite interesting.
02 -
  • Don't slice your strawberries until the last possible moment—they release their juices quickly and can make the greens soggy if they sit too long.
  • If your avocado isn't ripe enough, you can gently place it near (not touching) the warm eggs for a minute to soften slightly, but don't rush this or you'll end up with mush.
03 -
  • Make your dressing in a jar and shake it right before serving—it stays fresh for days in the refrigerator, and the jar makes it easy to coat everything evenly.
  • If you're cooking the bacon ahead, let it cool completely on paper towels before crumbling it, and store it in an airtight container so it stays crispy.
