Description
This Arugula Avocado Salad is a fresh and vibrant recipe, perfect for a light meal or a flavorful side. It combines the peppery bite of arugula with the creamy richness of avocado and the crunchy texture of cucumbers, all topped with a light, lemony olive oil dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups arugula lightly chopped
- 2-3 chopped Persian cucumbers
- 1 small chopped avocado
- 4 ounces chopped green onions
Dressing:
- A juice of one lemon (adjust to taste)
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 Sea Salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Give the Pre-washed arugula a rough chop if you prefer smaller pieces.
- Slice the avocado into cubes.
- Trim the ends of the cucumbers and cut them into cubes.
- Finely chop the green onions.
- In a large bowl, combine the arugula, cucumbers, avocado, and green onions.
- Pour in the dressing, either mixing it separately beforehand or directly over the vegetables.
- Toss everything together until well combined.
Notes
- For best results, toss the dressing with the salad before adding the avocados. Continuous tossing of the avocados can make them mushy.
- Salad doesn't keep very well once it's dressed. Always add the dressing just before serving.
- Another way to prepare the salad dressing is by placing all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar mixing well and then pouring over the salad.
