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.

I found that the salad was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less olive oil in the dressing.
