Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh abalone
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the fresh abalone. Clean the abalone by removing any dirt or debris and detach it from its shell if necessary.
Slice the abalone into thin, even slices, about 1/4 inch thick, then set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic to create a simple dressing. Set aside.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil and the sliced abalone.
Cook the abalone for 1-2 minutes on each side until just tender, being careful not to overcook. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and red onion.
Add the cooked abalone slices into the salad, then pour the lemon and olive oil dressing over the top.
Toss the salad gently to coat all ingredients with the dressing.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately as a refreshing low-carb meal.
