How to Make Avocado Salad

  1. Thinly slice the ripe avocado and immediately place it in a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and gently toss to prevent browning.
  2. Cube the fresh mozzarella cheese.
  3. Halve the cherry or grape tomatoes.
  4. In a large salad bowl, combine the avocado slices, mozzarella cubes, and halved tomatoes.
  5. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with chopped fresh marjoram and salt.
  6. Gently toss the salad until everything is evenly coated and seasoned to your liking.
  7. Serve immediately at room temperature. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
