I must confess I often roll my eyes when I see salad with fruit in it on a menu. It's definitely not one of my favorite food combinations. However, I love pairing avocado with fruit so I thought I'd give strawberries a shot. Normally I try everything in sandwich form but I this time I thought I'd get some mache lettuce (pronounced "mosh"), throw in some toasted nuts, and top with some leftover basil cashew cream sauce that I use on pasta. Turns out it doubles as a salad dressing and basil goes so well with strawberries. If just making it as a dressing, I simplify it a bit, cutting out the onion and sauteeing.
