This healthy Mint Strawberry Avocado Salad with Citrus is a delicious side to lunch or dinner filled with fresh summer produce! It’s so easy-to-make and only takes 5 minutes to put together. Also paleo, vegan and whole 30-friendly!
I swear I eat about 100000x more veggies and fruits in the summer….
Maybe that’s because our nearby fruit market (which I’ve said about before) is literally THE BEST ever! I’m talking $2.50 for 2 pints of fresh strawberries, $1 for 4 large cukes, and $1 for 2 avocados.
It’s one of those local places where the owners know you by name and give you the “valued customer” treatment. By that I mean, when you ask for 5 lbs of bananas, they give you 7 lbs for the same price.
You must understand why I get so sad when I go back to school because that means no more farmer’s market and no more cheap fresh produce 😔. But that’s why I go hard during summertime, to make up for all that loss during the school months which brings us here to this flavorful and fresh salad.
I love baking with produce and all, but my favorite way to enjoy the fresh and delicious flavors of summer produce is in raw, uncooked form like this Minty Strawberry Avocado Salad with Citrus. It’s literally the easiest thing you can possibly make and was inspired by this Grapefruit Corn and Mint Salad.
Minty Strawberry Avocado Salad With Citrus

That’s amazing! I’ve been super lucky to have a couple places like that over the past few years where I can get great produce for low cost. Even better? It’s year around. Before I found these places, Granted, seasonal but still! It’s been so awesome. I didn’t really eat much produce. So it has been wonderful for me and have truly grown to love vegetables so much (fruits I have always liked). I’m desperately hoping I can find a place like that when I move.

Delicious looking salad! I prefer eating raw fruits and veggies…when it comes to summer all I wanna eat is watermelon. And by watermelon I mean tons of it. I think it’s the most refreshing fruit and hydrates your body the best!

Fruit salads always remind me of my momma! When ever was had an overabundance of fruit we would never get through, she would always whip one up and then somehow we were able to get through it all that way! Haha!

Fruits and veggies are the best in the summer because they are so fresh!! This looks so good too. Love putting strawberry in salads!

Fresh fruitiness like this is what I live for in the summer! Well maybe not live…but what I CRAVE everyday all day. Those prices are unreal, I’d be at that little market every single day! And whipping up beautiful salads like this too 🙂 Sweet, herby, creamy, tangy–it’s got it going on!

YUM! What a gorgeous way to eat avocado, I always take the lazy route and just smash it with lemon. Strawberries and grapefruit add such a lovely touch, next time I pick up some up I’ll definitley have it with my avo =)

I’m so lucky here in Scotland as it’s the strawberry season and I can get fresh strawberries here for about the same cost you can from your nearby fruit market too.
So, on that basis this is a great dish to add to my strawberry recipe repertoire for this time of year! 😀

What a refreshing summer salad! Looks awesome!
This salad is summer perfection! I can totally picture this at my next cookout.
Mmm, I’m with you! I’m all about the fresh produce, especially during the summer! I adore the farmers’ markets near me too. I think that getting to meet the farmers and buy produce grown locally gives you such a connection to your food that you don’t have if you just shop at the grocery store.

I like this
I love mango! I could eat them everyday. <3
Oh my gosh so jealous of your farmer’s market prices!! I have yet to check out our nearest market. I’ll definitely have to give ours a try this weekend and check out the prices.
And this salad? LOOKS AMAZING. Love the combo of flavors!
This is giving me water in my mouth!! It looks awesome! Def. something for a hot day!! Pinned for later! 😀

Forget the expense of going out for a meal, once the summer hits, raid your kitchen, make some sandwiches, pop some jelly into a lidded bowl and off you go. If you can’t make it out to a local spot, you could even just picnic in your garden or when the weather is bad on your living room floor.
I am excited to try making this salad! I have never thought to put grapefruit in a salad before, but I’m sure it will taste amazing! Thank you for the recipe!
