In a bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, mustard, grated garlic, salt, and black pepper until well blended and emulsified.

In a large mixing bowl, layer the vibrant baby spinach, cubed or sliced avocado, torn fresh mozzarella, and toasted pine nuts.

Drizzle the freshly made dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
