Errol’s Avocado Salad Recipe

 

Named in honor of family friend, Errol Wente, this is a favorite we’ve been making for years. This summery salad features loads of avocado which is an excellent source of fiber (10 grams/avocado!) and healthy fats. Goes wonderfully with oven baked salmon or grilled chicken for a satisfying lunch or dinner! 

 

Errol’s Avocado Salad Recipe

Serves two (as a main salad)

Ingredients:

• 2 handfuls mixed greens
• 2 handfuls arugula
• 1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
• 1 avocado peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup pumpkins seeds
• grated parmesan

Dressing:

• 1/2 lemon
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 gloves crushed garlic
• 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
• salt and pepper to taste

Toss all salad ingredients together, leaving a small amount of pumpkin seeds and green onions aside as a pretty topping. Mix together dressing quickly with a whisk until it emulsifies and looks opaque. Drizzle dressing over greens and toss. Sprinkle remaining pumpkin seeds and onions on top and serve along your protein of choice!
