Refreshing and packed with a variety of flavors and textures, this Green Bean and Avocado Salad is perfect for a light yet filling meal. By combining the crunchiness of fresh green beans and almonds with the creaminess of avocados and the sweetness of dried cranberries and raisins, this recipe will be a hit at any summer gathering.
- Blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes in boiling water and then immediately transfer them to ice water to maintain their vibrant color and crispiness.
- For a richer flavor, toast the almonds lightly in a pan before adding them to the salad.
- To prevent the avocados from browning too quickly, cut them just before serving and sprinkle with a little lemon or lime juice.
- Make sure the pasta is cooked al dente as it will continue to absorb the dressing and soften slightly after mixing with the other ingredients.
This Green Bean and Avocado Salad is not only nutritious but also a delightful explosion of flavors. It's an excellent choice for a family meal or a picnic, and it can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy this vibrant and wholesome salad!
