Deconstructed Guacamole Salad

This salad features spring mix greens topped with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. A cilantro lime dressing, blending olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, maple syrup, and spices, brightens the ingredients and ties the flavors together. The salad’s components are simply combined and served fresh for a light, flavorful side or lunch.

Description

Deconstructed Guacamole Salad assembles fresh salad greens with ingredients commonly found in guacamole presented separately: cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, red onion, and feta cheese crumbles. The dressing is a vibrant blend of extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, maple syrup, and seasoning including sea salt, black pepper, and coriander.

The dressing is shaken or whisked until combined and adjusted for seasoning to balance tartness and sweetness. It is poured over the divided salad ingredients on plates and tossed just before serving to maintain freshness and contrast in textures.

The salad brings creamy avocado and tangy feta together with fresh vegetables, complemented by the zesty, herbaceous dressing. This makes a refreshing option suited to light meals or as a side dish.
