Ingredients
1 tbsp Lemon juice
pinch Salt
4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
small bunch Fresh chives, finely chopped
200 g Mixed salad leaves
2 Ripe avocados, sliced
Directions
Pour the lemon juice into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add a pinch of salt.
Pour the olive oil into the jar with the lemon juice and salt.
Add the finely chopped fresh chives to the jar.
Close the lid securely and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the vinaigrette is well combined and emulsified.
Place the mixed salad leaves in a large bowl. Arrange the sliced avocados on top of the greens.
Drizzle the lemon-herb vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated. Serve immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at any Charlotte chain, with avocado reliably stocked even at ALDI and Walmart, making this a true no-special-trip dish. At roughly $1.25 to $1.50 per serving depending on greens and avocado seasonality, it's genuinely cheap and the ten-minute timer is honest for assembly. The main caveat is that this does not travel or reheat—it's a same-meal salad that wilts quickly once dressed, and the simplicity means it leans entirely on ingredient quality, which can feel thin if your greens or avocado are mediocre.
