Green mixed salad with avocado

20 minutes
Green mixed salad with avocado is a fresh and light dish that embodies the traditions of European cuisine. Its roots trace back to Mediterranean culinary traditions, where avocado pairs with aromatic herbs and vegetables. The tender flesh of avocado gives the salad a creamy texture, while crunchy cucumbers and juicy tomatoes add vibrant flavor notes. A dressing made from pumpkin and olive oil with lemon juice adds zest and highlights the natural taste of the ingredients. Toasted pumpkin seeds provide a light nutty hint to the salad. Garnished with olives, it becomes an elegant addition to any table. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish or as a refined side for fish and meat.
