The Simple Fresh Salad

---

Everyone should have a super simple, fresh go-to salad combination in their minds always ready if need be! People often think salads are "easy" and while they definitely are easy to make, there can be difficulties in getting the flavours and textures right so that the salad is DELICIOUS. Salads don't need to be the boring choice, they can be the star or talking point of the meal and can be the whole meal itself! Here's one of my more simple combinations that I always come back to. Be sure to make the balsamic salad dressing - it's a must try!

Ingredients

Serves: 2

• A bag of your favourite mixed salad leaves
• Small handful small mint leaves
• 1 large red capsicum
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 avocado
• 1 red onion
  
• Dress with my Balsamic Salad Dressing Recipe 

How to

• Slice the capsicum and red onion finely
• Cut the tomato into wedges by cutting the tomatoes in half, then quarters, then halves again
• ​Cut the avocado in half going around the stone on the inside
• Twist the avocado apart and remove the stone from the half it is left in
• Cut the halves into quarters length wise. This should then make it easier to peel off the the skin from the outside
• Slice up the avocado to approximately the same size pieces as the tomato
• Wash the lettuce leaves and place onto a serving into a serving bowl
• Place the red onion, tomato, capsicum and avocado onto the bed of lettuce, arranged randomly or toss it through​
• Drizzle the Balsamic Dressing over the top and finish with a grind of salt and pepper
• ​Garnish with mint leaves
