Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh abalone
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, and kale)
- 1 large avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 small garlic clove
Directions
Step 1
Place a large saucepan of salted water over medium-high heat and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 2
Tenderize the abalones with a meat mallet, being careful not to damage them. Then rinse them thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, reduce it to a simmer. Place the cleaned abalones in the water and poach them for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and let cool slightly.
Step 4
While the abalone cools, prepare the dressing by zesting the lemon and extracting the juice into a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil, finely minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 5
Slice the cooled abalone finely across the grain and place it in a large salad bowl.
Step 6
Slice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes, and then add them to the salad bowl along with the mixed salad greens and chopped fresh parsley.
Step 7
Pour the lemon dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Step 8
Serve the salad immediately while the abalone is slightly warm, offering a contrast to the cold salad greens.
