Description
This quick and easy French-style avocado salad recipe pairs creamy avocado with a punchy French vinaigrette for the ultimate summer side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 very small banana shallot
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- generous pinch sea salt
- 2 large or 3 medium ripe avocados
- 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
Instructions
- Finely chop the shallot and place it in the bottom of a mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, olive oil, mustard and a pinch of salt and whisk with a balloon whisk.
- Dice the avocados and add them to the dressing along with 2/3 of the chives. Stir gently so the pieces become coating in the dressing, trying not to break up the avocado too much.
- Add more salt to taste, and serve topped with the remaining chives.
Notes
As avocado is prone to discolouration I’d not recommend it for best results, but the red wine vinegar does a pretty good job of keeping things vibrant. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, and finish them off within a day or two?
