Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh rukola (arugula)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 large avocado
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the fresh rukola under cold water and patting it dry with a clean kitchen towel or using a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Step 2
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 3
Peel the cucumber, if desired, and cut it into half-moon slices before adding them to the bowl.
Step 4
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad bowl.
Step 5
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh onto a chopping board. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and gently mix them into the salad bowl.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice until well combined. Season with sea salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to ensure everything is coated evenly.
Step 8
Serve the Paleo Fresh Rukola Salad immediately as a light and refreshing starter or a side dish.
