Plum avocado summer salad
Indulge in the vibrant flavors of a plum avocado summer salad. Enjoy a medley of fresh ingredients that burst with a refreshing and savory taste.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium ripe Avocados
- 5 medium sized ripe black plums
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small clove of garlic
- several pinches sea salt (I'm on a pink himalayan salt phase myself)
- 1 medium lemon
- 3 splashes olive oil
- 1 dried red chili pepper
Instructions:
- Peel the dark plums and dice them (even though peeling them may seem like a chore!).
- Peel the avocado and dice it.
- Carefully add the diced black plums and avocado into a bowl, making sure not to mix too vigorously to prevent the avocado from turning into mush. Squeeze some lemon juice over the mixture and sprinkle a few dashes of sea salt. Avoid stirring.
- Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic clove with some salt. Incorporate the red chili pepper and continue crushing them to keep them in chunky pieces. Add the cilantro and keep mashing until well combined. Slowly pour in the olive oil (around 1/4 to 1/2 cup) to create the dressing, mixing thoroughly.
- Drizzle the dressing over the diced plums and avocado using a spoon. Season with salt according to your preference.
- Allow the salad to sit for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the flavors before serving and enjoying.
