Arugula and Avocado Salad

1 serving

5 minutes

Arugula and avocado salad is a true reflection of Italian cuisine: simplicity, freshness, and balance of flavors. Arugula adds a spicy bitterness to the dish, while avocado brings creamy tenderness. Bright radicchio adds a light bitterness and juiciness. Extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice unite all ingredients, creating harmony of flavors. This salad is perfect as a light appetizer or an accompaniment to Mediterranean main dishes. It is served fresh, requires no complicated preparations, and pairs wonderfully with white wines or refreshing drinks. Historically, arugula and olive oil are essential elements of Italian traditions, while the addition of avocado brings a touch of modernity to the classic recipe. Simplicity and elegance are the main virtues of this dish.
