SUMMER KALE, AVOCADO, MANGO, AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH CITRUS POPPY SEED VINAIGRETTE



Summer Kale, Avocado, Mango, and Chickpea Salad with Citrus Poppy Seed Vinaigrette image

This is a delicious summer salad. Great as a dinner salad with some grilled chicken or fish, or as a side. This is my first experience with kale, and I'm hooked! Add nuts (walnuts, cashews, slivered almonds), sunflower seeds, or dried fruit (cranberries or cherries) for some added texture and deliciousness! I also like to add thinly sliced red bell peppers or Shepherd peppers; it is a salad, anything goes! The citrus vinaigrette is light and refreshing. Sometimes I want a sweeter vinaigrette, hence the addition of marmalade. Apricot would work well, too. A great summertime salad.

MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE



Mango-Avocado Salad With Lime Vinaigrette image

Inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad, this salad stars ripe, juicy mangoes and dresses them in the classic punchy lime-fish sauce dressing. Tender torn greens, crunchy sweet snap peas and creamy avocado round out this dish with both crispy and creamy bites. The cooling salad is the perfect side to accompany grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or steak. If mangoes are unavailable, tomatoes or sweet stone fruit like peaches are tasty options.

Time 15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2 limes)
1/4 cup minced shallot
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1 large head Boston or butter lettuce (1 pound), trimmed and leaves torn into large pieces
2 ripe mangoes, sliced or cubed
8 ounces snap peas, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 ripe avocados, sliced or cubed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine oil, lime juice, shallot, fish sauce, sugar and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended, then stir in half of the cilantro. Reserve half of the dressing in a small bowl for serving.
  • Arrange lettuce in an even layer on a serving platter. Add mangoes, snap peas and avocados to the large bowl and gently toss to evenly coat in the dressing.
  • Arrange salad over lettuce and garnish with the remaining cilantro. Serve with the reserved dressing on the side, for drizzling.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for kale that is deep green and crisp, avocados that are ripe but not mushy, and mangoes that are sweet and juicy.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing will allow the flavors of the ingredients to shine through. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the dressing and salad separately and combine them just before serving.

Conclusion:

This summer kale, avocado, mango, and chickpea salad with citrus poppy seed vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and the citrus poppy seed vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor. Whether you are looking for a healthy and easy weeknight meal or a dish to impress your guests, this salad is sure to be a hit.
