QUICK AVOCADO-SPROUT-VINAIGRETTE SALAD

Quick Avocado-Sprout-Vinaigrette Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup watercress leaves
1/2 cup arugula leaves
2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
Assorted sprouts: clover, alfalfa, radish, etc.
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 cup tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Cover a platter with watercress and arugula. Place the avocado face down on the greens. Slice the avocado crosswise and fan it out across the greens. Thoroughly mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the avocado and greens. Add sprouts before serving.

Tips:

Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or almost black in color, with slightly soft flesh. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too mushy.
Use a sharp knife: Cutting avocados with a sharp knife will help prevent the flesh from sticking to the knife and making a mess.
Remove the pit carefully: Use a sharp knife to cut around the pit of the avocado, then gently scoop it out with a spoon.
Add some acid: A squeeze of lemon or lime juice will help brighten the flavor of the avocado salad and prevent the avocado from browning.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil add a pop of flavor and color to avocado salad.
Don't overdress the salad: Avocado salad is best when it's lightly dressed, so use just enough dressing to coat the ingredients.
Serve immediately: Avocado salad is best served immediately after it's made, as the avocado will start to brown after a while.

Conclusion:

Avocado salad is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, avocado salad is a crowd-pleaser that's sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
