Strawberry, melon and avocado salad

ingredients

* 1/4 cup honey
* 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
* Pinch of salt
* 4 cups baby spinach
* 1 small avocado (4-5 ounces), peeled, pitted and cut into 16 slices
* 16 thin slices cantaloupe (about 1/2 small cantaloupe), rind removed
* 1 1/2 cups hulled strawberries, sliced
* 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tip)

directions

1. Whisk honey, vinegar, mint, pepper and salt in a small bowl.
2. Divide spinach among 4 salad plates. Arrange alternating slices of avocado and cantaloupe in a fan on top of the spinach. Top each salad with strawberries, drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
3. Tip: To toast sesame seeds, heat a small dry skillet over low heat. Add sesame seeds and stir constantly until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
