CHUNKY CHOPPED SALAD WITH AVOCADO DRESSING

 

 

I just  had to share this recipe because it's so simple and so flavorful.  The simpler the recipe the better right?   I LOVE avocados and I love using them as "dressing" for my salads.  This Chunky Chopped Salad wtih Avocado Dressing is super simmple and zesty, you will love it!

 

CHUNKY CHOPPED SALAD WITH AVOCADO DRESSING

 

1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in halves

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped brocolli

1 ripe avocado

Juice of 1 lemon

Sea salt and pepper to taste

 

Chop all the vegetables, including the avocado and place in a medium bowl.  Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon, season with sea salt and pepper and work in the avocado, smashing them ever so gently to get your "dressing" effect.  Voila!  The lemon juice not only gives adds great flavor but it also helps the avocado from turning brown. 

 

Bon Apetit!

RAW SAVORY CHOPPED SALAD WITH AVOCADO AND SUN DRIED TOMATOESO

Friends and food.  I love those occasions when old friends can fix their schedules so we can all get together for a meal.  When I say friends, I mean friends who have know each other for years and can pick up right where we left off when we see each other again.  My friend Ashely gathered all of us together... some are friends, some are fleshly family and others are family now through marriage.  I love it!  We all contributed a dish and the above is mine.  

This chopped salad is so tasty, it was really a crowd pleaser.  I will definitely make this again and again.  Super simple and savory.

RAW CHOPPED SALAD WITH AVOCADO AND SUN DRIED TOMATOES

1 cup chopped cucumber

1 cup chopped heirloom tomatoes, I like to use different colored tomatoes to bring out color

1 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes

1 cup chopped avocado

1 cup chopped mushroom

3/4 cup chopped red onion

2 cloves minced fresh garlic

1/2 cup to 1 cup chopped cilantro (use as much as like to taste)

1/2 cup pine nuts

1-2 lemons, juice of
1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Combine all the chopped ingredients and nuts into a large bowl. Squeeze int the lemon juice to taste.  I love the zestiness of the lemon, so I used to personally.  Toss the salad and drizzle in the olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.  Toss again and taste. 

I am definitely making this for my family.  I love it.

Enjoy!
