This Avocado, Capers, and Iceberg Salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that combines creamy avocado, tangy capers, and crisp iceberg lettuce. It's perfect for a light lunch or a side dish. The dressing, made with lemon juice, olive oil, and a hint of sugar, ties all the ingredients together beautifully.
Instructions:
- In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, and sugar.
- Whisk or shake well until the sugar is completely dissolved and the dressing is well mixed. Set aside.
- Wash and roughly chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce into a large salad bowl.
- Thinly slice the red onion. Separate the slices into rings and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
- Drain the capers and sprinkle them over the lettuce and onion mixture.
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh in one piece from each half and then dice it into roughly 1/2-inch cubes.
- Add the diced avocado to the salad bowl.
- Give the dressing another quick whisk or shake before pouring it over the salad.
- Gently toss the salad with tongs or two large spoons, being careful not to mash the avocado pieces.
- Once the salad is evenly coated with the dressing, serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp flavors.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemon juice for the dressing to enhance the flavor.
- If you prefer a less pungent taste, you can soak the sliced red onion in cold water for a few minutes before adding it to the salad.
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper over the salad before serving.
- Make sure the avocado is ripe but not overripe to achieve the best texture.
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a small jar with a lid and shake well to combine before pouring it over the salad for an even coating.
