Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 1 head green leaf lettuce, washed and dried
- 2 homegrown cucumbers, sliced into half moons
- 1 bunch homegrown orange or rainbow carrots (about 4–5 carrots), cut into matchsticks
- 3 honey mangos, peeled and chopped
- 4 avocados, cut into chunks
- 1 pint Weaver’s blackberries, washed and dried
Dressing
- Zest and juice of 4 limes
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Carefully rinse lettuce, making sure to wash away all dirt and sand before roughly chopping and tossing into a large salad bowl. Next, slice cucumbers into half moons and sprinkle atop the lettuce. Peel carrots or leave unpeeled, whatever your preference, cutting into matchsticks and adding to the salad bowl.
- Next, prep the fruit by peeling and chopping the honey mangos and slicing the avocado into chunks (aim for larger chunks because inevitably the avocado pieces will lose some of their mass as the salad is tossed). Add both tropical fruits, along with the fresh blackberries, to the top of the salad.
- To prepare the dressing, zest and juice the limes into a small bowl. Add the honey, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and stir.
- Finally, dress salad just before serving and gently toss until incorporated well. Goes perfectly with grilled chicken, or simply enjoy on its own.
Notes
Dressing can be made in advance as it keeps for several days on the counter or even longer when refrigerated. If being made a few hours in advance, wrap and store undressed salad in fridge for up to 6 hours or leave on the counter for up to 3 hours before serving.
