🥗 Ingredients

For the Salad

● 1 large ripe avocado, diced

● 1 cucumber, sliced

● 2–3 tomatoes, chopped

● A handful of fresh lettuce or mixed green leaves

● ½ small red onion, thinly sliced

● A handful of fresh spinach leaves

● Fresh parsley or coriander, chopped

● Lemon wedges, for serving

You can also add your favourite salad vegetables such as bell peppers, sweetcorn, spring onions, or carrots.

For the Creamy Avocado Dressing

● 1 ripe avocado

● 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

● 2–3 tablespoons water, or enough to reach your preferred consistency

● 1 small garlic clove

● 1 tablespoon olive oil

● Salt, to taste

● Black pepper, to taste

👩🏽‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Prepare the vegetables

Wash all your vegetables thoroughly and allow them to drain.

Chop the lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion. Add everything to a large salad bowl.

2. Make the creamy avocado dressing

Add the ripe avocado, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to a blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy. Gradually add a little water until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

Taste and adjust the lemon juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.

3. Assemble the salad

Gently toss the vegetables together.

Drizzle the creamy avocado dressing over the salad just before serving. Give it a gentle toss so the dressing coats the fresh vegetables without making the avocado pieces mushy.

4. Serve and enjoy!

Serve immediately while the vegetables are fresh and crunchy.

For an extra refreshing touch, chill the salad for a few minutes before serving.

🌿 Tips for the Perfect Avocado Salad

Choose ripe avocados: Your avocado should feel slightly soft when gently pressed but should not be overly mushy.

Add the dressing just before serving: This helps keep the vegetables crisp and fresh.

Adjust the dressing: If you prefer a thinner dressing, add more water. For a richer and thicker dressing, use less water.

Make it your own: Add boiled eggs, chickpeas, grilled chicken, cucumber, sweetcorn, or other favourite ingredients to make the salad more filling.
