Avocados have a vitamin E, which is helpful in de-stressing! So here is a good way to have avocados – by including them in a salad. The bonus of this recipe is there is also salmon included!
Avocado, Arugula salad with smoked salmon (serves 6)
Ingredients:
- 200g of fresh asparagus spears
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- large handful of fresh arugula leaves
- 225g smoked salmon slices
- 1 red onion, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Dressing: 1 chopped garlic clove, 4 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp mustard
Assembly:
- Cook asparagus for about 4 minutes in boiling water, lightly salted. Drain and refresh under cold water and drain again. Set aside to cool.
- Make the dressing. After, cut the avocado in half, lengthwise, then remove the pit and also the skin. Cut the avocado flesh into bite-size pieces and brush with lemon juice (prevents discolouration of the fruit).
- Assemble the salad: arrange arugula leaves on individual serving plates and top with the asparagus and avocado. Cut the smoked salmon into strips and scatter on top of the salad. Then scatter the chives and parsley. Drizzle over the dressing.
Happy kitchening, cooking & cuisine!
