20 minutes

Green salad with avocado and pine nuts is the embodiment of freshness and sophistication in Italian cuisine. Its origin is linked to the Mediterranean diet tradition, which values natural ingredients and their harmonious combination. The crispy leaves of lettuce and romaine create a tender texture, while cucumber adds refreshing juiciness. Avocado adds creaminess and softness, perfectly complementing the nutty note of crunchy pine nuts. The dressing made from olive oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard, and apple juice gives the salad a piquant flavor and a slight tanginess. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner and serves as an elegant addition to main Mediterranean dishes. The dish not only delights the palate but also provides health benefits due to healthy fats and vitamins.
