Shaved Avocado Salad

Best with Not Ripe ÉVO® Hass Avocado

Thin ribbons of firm avocado marinated in lemon and olive oil create a delicate, almost “cured” salad. The acid gently softens the flesh while seasoning it through.

What You’ll Need

  • 2 not ripe ÉVO® Hass avocados
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced
  • 4–5 radishes, thinly sliced
  • Small handful mixed herbs (parsley, mint, dill), roughly torn
  • Optional: shaved Parmesan or toasted almonds

How to Make It

  1. Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, shave the avocados lengthways into thin ribbons.
  2. Arrange ribbons on a serving platter with fennel and radish slices.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil and salt.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and set aside for 15–20 minutes to allow the acid to soften the avocado slightly.
  5. Scatter over herbs and optional Parmesan or almonds. Serve at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

  • Add orange segments for a citrusy twist.
  • Toss with cooked lentils or chickpeas for a heartier salad.
  • For a creamier dressing, whisk in 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt.
