AVOCADO SALAD WITH HERBS AND CAPERS

Avocado Salad With Herbs and Capers image

This salad is both dead simple to make and highly luscious. It gets a velvety richness from the avocados. The salad is enlivened by a splash of red wine vinegar in the dressing and a handful of briny capers sprinkled on top. The herbs here are used in two ways, both chopped into a garlicky salsa verde-like dressing, and strewn in whole leaves across the plate. Choose your avocados carefully for this; look for firm but not rock-hard fruit, without any mushy spots. If you'd like to substitute another variety of avocado for the Haas you can, but the salad may not have the same texture. Then serve it either as a side dish or an appetizer with a meal of roasted or grilled meats, chicken or fish. Or make it the foundation of a light lunch, with some crusty bread and tangy cheese on the side.

Tips:

Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or almost black in color, and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
Use fresh Malibu rum: Malibu rum adds a tropical flavor to the salad. Make sure to use fresh Malibu rum, as older bottles may have lost their flavor.
Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the salad more refreshing.
Serve the salad on a bed of greens: This will add extra freshness and crunch. Arugula, spinach, or mixed greens are all good choices.
Garnish the salad with fresh herbs: This will add extra flavor and color. Cilantro, mint, or basil are all good choices.
