Avocado, capers and iceberg salad

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.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tsp sugar
5g
2 cups lettuce
150g
1/2 red onion
54g
2 tbsp capers
30g
1 avocado
200g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dressing:
- 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.
2. Assemble the Salad:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Avocado:
- 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.
4. Dress the Salad:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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.

Your Avocado, Capers, and Iceberg Salad is now ready to be enjoyed! This simple yet delicious salad is sure to become a favorite. The combination of creamy avocado, tangy capers, and crunchy lettuce, all brought together by a zesty lemon dressing, is simply delightful. Serve it immediately for the best taste and texture.
