Spinach Avocado Salad

Spinach Avocado copy

 

A wonderful refreshing salad with absolutely contrasting textures!! One more experiment of Nigella’s recipes after this. After the rich, moist, chewy brownie, it has to be a salad ;)

Now take note of the recipe very very carefully okay! Go with the steps in order and follow exactly as I have mentioned! ;)

First wash the baby spinach and leave it in a colander to drain all the water.

Cut the avocado in half and scoop out chunks of avocado with a spoon.

Sprinkle salt and papper as per your taste and drizzle some lemon juice over it.

There you go…..

    I liked this new header. It is better than the first one :) Coffee tell me how to select an avocado while purchasing. The one I had purchased some time back was so difficult to cut. When I finely cut it, it was hard inside . The colour was like a kacchi kairi inside and could not scoop it. It was the first time I had bought one so I selected the smallest . It was dark green on the outside. Where did I go wrong ? :grin: :oops: :idea: :roll: :?: :lol: :eek:
    The salad looks so simple and tasty, but I will be able to make it only when I buy the correct avocado :lol: :lol: :lol: :razz:

    There!!! When the avocado is still green its raw. As it browns, its ready to eat. Dark brown colour like the bark of the tree means you are ready to use that avocado. If you buy the raw ones, let it sit outside (not in the fridge) for 2-3 days and it should be dark brown by then. :)

    Spinach and Avocados in a salad are my favorites….I could mash the avocado and sprinkle a little salt and chili powder and eat it by itself….but I dare not to eat more than one!

    Absolutely!!! Very refreshing for the summers! :)

    avocado is my fav, will try this, the recipe is a bit tough, albeit :lol:
    nice new look :grin:
    one more tip, if the avocado yields slightly to pressing, it’s ready to eat :razz:

    If you follow exactly as I have written then its not at all tough ;)
    Yes, when its soft to press, its ready to eat. Thanks for adding my dear. :)

    nice new look Coffee. Avocados are my Favourite, I love them even as a spread on my toast for breakfast ! That salad looks so simple, delicious and healthy too - I can eat it on its own for a light dinner :-)

    Yup! I too love them as a spread! :D
    This salad is great as a light dinner. I had this day before for dinner when my hubby is out travelling and I was too lazy to cook something for myself!

    I am a coffee drinker but I’ll be darned if I don’t want to sip from that cup you have up there. I was a rim of the foam on my upper lip too! :razz:

    I find that the instructions for the salad were rather technical :grin:

    yeah! Complicated recipes need technical instructions ;)
