Ingredients
1 large avocado, halved, pitted, and sliced
2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned or shredded
3 handfuls mixed salad leaves (such as oak leaf lettuce or spring mix)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Directions
Wash and thoroughly dry the mixed salad leaves. Tear or chop them into bite-sized pieces and place in a large serving bowl or on individual plates.
Peel and julienne or shred the carrots using a box grater or vegetable peeler, creating thin ribbons or shreds. Distribute evenly over the greens.
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and gently scoop the flesh from the skin. Slice into half-moon pieces and arrange over the salad.
Whisk together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until combined.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top. Toss gently to combine all ingredients, or serve individually plated for a more composed presentation. Enjoy immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at any Charlotte grocer—avocados, carrots, and salad greens are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, and Walmart—so no special stops needed. At roughly $4–5 total for two servings, cost per serving lands around $2–2.50, driven mainly by the avocado. The 10-minute time is honest for a knife-and-toss salad with no cooking. It's light and family-friendly for a quick side or lunch, though not a hearty weeknight main, and it doesn't reheat well, so plan to eat it fresh.
