Herby Avocado and Caper Salad with Shallots
A bright, briny salad where creamy avocado meets sharp shallots, salty capers, and a tumble of fresh herbs — chic, quick, and endlessly snackable.
Ingredients
Salad
- 2 ripe avocados diced
- 1 small shallot thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons capers drained
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Dice the avocados and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Thinly slice the shallot and add it to the bowl.
- Add the drained capers, parsley, and dill.
- Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
- Gently toss to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately as a side or light main.
Notes
For extra crunch, add toasted almonds or pumpkin seeds. Swap parsley or dill for basil or chives depending on what’s in the fridge. Great with toasted sourdough or as a topping for grilled fish. Toddler tip: mash avocado separately with a splash of lemon and leave out the shallots.
