How to Make Unusual Avocado Salad

  1. Slice 1 ripe avocado into thin, even slices. Sprinkle immediately with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved), 1/4 cup walnuts (roughly chopped), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander (cilantro), and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  3. Season the dressing generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Slowly whisk in 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil until emulsified.
  4. Arrange the avocado slices artfully on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the prepared lemon-herb dressing.
  5. Garnish with extra coriander leaves and a sprinkle of walnuts, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
