- 1 ripe Hass avocado, cubed

- 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
It’s summer time and hass avocados are on my shopping list every week. I typically make guacamole with them, but I have recently discovered that I really like them as part of a salad! I crafted a simple salad that takes minutes to make and tastes delicious :)
Here is a great link that talks about the many health benefits of adding avocado to your diet!
The recipe below assumes that you know how to cube an avocado…if you do not look here for instructions!
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper until emulsified. Add avocado, tomatoes, and red onion and mix with dressing. Note – stir lightly as the avocados will start to mash.
Happy Eats!
This sounds pretty much like something between guacamole and pico de gallo – try it with a bit of chopped cilantro and green chile (if you like a kick) on corn tortillas, or as a side to those black bean enchiladas. Delicious!
Yeah I guess it kind of is…although the way I cut the avocados is a little big for chips! :) And you know what’s funny? I did make it as a side dish for the enchiladas…it was delish!
Thank you for the link :-)
No problem! I love your site :)
I just had this with chicken and it was awesome! I made double the dressing, set aside half for the salad, grated a few cloves of garlic into it along with some of the lemon zest into and whisked it again, then marinated a piece of chicken breast in it for 10-15 min. In the meantime, I made the salad, then pan roasted the chicken breast. Once the breast was done, I tore it into chunks and mixed it with the salad.
The only problem was keeping from eating the salad while the breast was marinating. It was a perfect little meal for myself! Thank you!
Wow what a great idea! I need a new zester like whoa.
