You’ll need about three cups of mixed greens as a base.

I used about a half a pound of strawberries. I sliced them into fourths.
Roasted Pecans:
You’ll need about a half cup of roasted pecans.
Feta Cheese:
You’ll need another half cup of crumbled feta cheese.

I used a whole, fresh avocado. I sliced it into thinner slices.
