Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 150 grams Baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Wash the cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and cucumber thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and transfer them to a large salad bowl.
3. Peel the cucumber if desired and cut it into thin rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl.
4. Finely slice half a red onion and add it to the salad bowl.
5. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut it into small cubes and gently toss it into the salad bowl to avoid mashing.
6. Add the washed baby spinach leaves to the salad bowl, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
7. To prepare the dressing, finely mince the garlic clove. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
8. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss the ingredients together until coated evenly.
9. Serve immediately as a light main course or side dish. Enjoy the fresh and low-carb flavors!
