Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons coarse sea salt
10 ounces slim haricots verts (green beans), trimmed at both ends and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
1 cup Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon imported French mustard
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes (do not peel)
1 large ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 pound (2 cups) cooked lobster meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
Equipment: A 5-quart pasta pot fitted with a colander; 4 chilled large dinner plates

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
  • 2. Fill the pasta pot with 3 quarts of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the coarse salt and the beans, and blanch until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. (Cooking time will vary according to the size and tenderness of the beans.) Immediately remove the colander from the water, letting the water drain from the beans. Plunge the beans into the ice water so they cool down as quickly as possible. (The beans will cool in 1 to 2 minutes. If you leave them longer, they will become soggy and begin to lose flavor.) Drain the beans and wrap them in a thick kitchen towel to dry. (Store the cooked beans in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.)
  • 3. In a large, shallow bowl, combine the yogurt, mustard, and fine salt and whisk to blend. Taste for seasoning. Add the green beans, chives, apple, avocado, and lobster. Toss to coat. Arrange on the plates and serve.

AVOCADO AND WATERCRESS SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS RECIPE - (5/5)



Avocado and Watercress Salad with Green Beans Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by SippitySup

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large ripe, creamy avocado, such as Hass
juice of one lemon
1 medium shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for boiling water
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 oz green beans, trimmed and cut into 1″ pieces
1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced thinly
1 bunch watercress, thick stems removed
1/2 cup whole mint leaves, loosely packed
lemon wedges as garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice water bath; set aside. Halve, peel and pit the avocado, cutting it into 1/2″ chunks. Put the avocado into a serving bowl large enough for the finished salad. Whisk together shallot, lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil until well emulsified and creamy. Pour the mixture over the avocado and toss them until well coated so they do not discolor. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt. Blanch the green beans until tender-crisp, 4-5 minutes. Immediately transfer them to the ice-bath to stop cooking. Drain well, and add them to the bowl with the avocado, followed the cucumber slices, watercress, and mint leaves. Gently toss until the salad is evenly dressed. Season with salt and pepper and serve with additional lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Select ripe avocados: Choose avocados that are slightly soft when gently pressed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have bruises.
  • Use a variety of lettuces: Experiment with different types of lettuces to add texture and flavor to your salad. Arugula, romaine, and spinach are all great options.
  • Add protein: If you want to make your salad more filling, add some protein such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more if needed.
  • Serve immediately: Avocado salad is best served immediately, as the avocado can brown quickly.

Conclusion:

The avocado green salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy avocado, crisp lettuce, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty salad, give this avocado green salad a try!
