Strawberry, Avocado, and Pepper Salad

Here is a great salad using peppers from the farm in Michigan Sunset. One of the largest greenhouse organic farms in the country. They also have amazing strawberries. My boss had made a stop at this amazing farm and brought back cases of both ingredients. Strawberry season is just starting for some states and spring is almost here. So I decided to share this strawberry and pepper salad to get us ready for that warmer weather. This was a salad that both Jp and Eloise absolutely loved!. There is obviously some sweet to this dish but there is also acid and heat. This gives the dish a well rounded flavors that really worked well with one another. Here is the recipe I hope you enjoy it!
