Zucchini Avocado Salad recipe

Try this salad with any seasonal vegetables you have on hand; onions, mushrooms, summer squash, and green peas would all be great choices.

Ingredients:

1 pound zucchini, cut into ½-inch slices
Lettuce leaves, for serving
1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
12 stuffed green olives, halved
4 sprigs fresh watercress
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch dried tarragon
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1) Bring a medium pot of water to a boil; add zucchini and cook until color just turns bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain well and set aside.

2) Plate the salads: arrange lettuce leaves on 4 serving plates. Top with avocado slices, zucchini, olives, and watercress. Set aside.

3) Prepare the dressing: Whisk remaining ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour over salads and serve immediately.

Not sure about it while making it, but it is pretty good! I'll have to try the mushrooms next time as well. I'm sure that would be awesome!

Zucchini Avocado Salad Review by Milena on December 3rd, 2011:

I didn't have white wine vinegar or olives so I substituted with regular white vinegar and a little bit of olive juice from the jar, and added mushrooms. It was really delicious!
