Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams fresh rukola (arugula)
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams feta cheese
Instructions
Rinse the fresh rukola thoroughly under cold water, then spin it dry using a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin wedges.
Thinly slice the red onion. If the taste is too strong, soak it in cold water for 5 minutes and drain before adding to the salad.
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad.
Toss the salad lightly just before serving to distribute the feta cheese evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, low-carb rukola salad!
