Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

160 grams (4 or 5) thick asparagus spears
1 avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
16 fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/2 lime
20 grams (about 2 tablespoons) extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of fine sea salt per serving

Steps:

  • 1 Cut away about 2 inches of the base of each asparagus spear. With a vegetable peeler, shave the entire asparagus from bottom to top, reversing your grip and rotating as necessary to shave as much as possible. Don't rush it; be deliberate for the greatest precision.
  • 2 Divide the asparagus strips among 4 salad plates. Cut each avocado half into 4 sections and place 2 wedges on each salad. Sprinkle with the mint leaves. Squeeze lime juice over the salads, drizzle evenly with the oil, and sprinkle with salt.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out bland. I think I might have used too much olive oil.

This salad is so versatile. I've added grilled chicken, shrimp, and even tofu to it. It's always a hit!

I'm allergic to avocado, so I substituted it with cucumber. The salad was still delicious!

The dressing is a bit too tangy for my taste. I would use less lemon juice next time.

This asparagus and avocado salad is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The asparagus is tender and slightly sweet, while the avocado is creamy and rich. The dressing is light and tangy, with a hint of honey that brings everything toget
