Avocado guacamole salad with quinoa and sweet tomatoes
2 servings
15 minutes
This salad is a vibrant blend of Mexican cuisine and modern gastronomic trends. Avocado guacamole with its creamy texture and citrus notes harmoniously pairs with quinoa, adding nutrition to the dish. Baku tomatoes bring a sweet freshness, while arugula and Swiss chard add a light bitterness and crunch. Creamy balsamic finishes the flavor with a refined touch. Historically, guacamole is an iconic Mexican sauce loved for its simplicity and rich taste. Here it takes on a new form, becoming the base for a light and healthy salad that works well as a standalone dish or side. It can be served as an elegant appetizer or light dinner, complemented by a glass of white wine or fresh lemonade.
