I simply can’t have enough of this buttery fruit (yes, it is actually a fruit). Avocados are my go to comfort food. Something about them that just puts me in a good mood.
I usually make my favorite guacamole recipe but today I didn’t feel like doing a lot of chopping. So I opted for an avocado salad with shallot vinaigrette. Quick and delicious. I hope you enjoy this heart-healthy and hunger-eradicating dish..
Avocado with Shallot Vinaigrette
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 avocados
- 1 tbs minced shallot
- 1 tsp chopped cilantro
- the juice of one lime
- Shallot vinaigrette
Vinaigrette:
- 1 tbs minced shallot
- 1½ tbs red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup olive oil
- salt & pepper
Instructions
Vinaigrette:
- To prepare the vinaigrette: soak shallots in vinegar for 15 minutes. Whisk in mustard. Add olive oil, salt and fresh ground pepper. Mix well then taste. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
Avocados:
- Cut the avocados in half. Remove the pits. Cube them but keep them in their skin. Rub the top with some lime juice to prevent browning. Sprinkle halves with minced shallots and chopped cilantro before dousing them with vinaigrette.
