Crispy Avocado Salad Food

MY FAVORITE AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Drizzle lemon juice over avocados. In a serving bowl, combine salad greens, tomatoes, onion, walnuts and avocados. Whisk together dressing ingredients; pour over salad. Toss to coat.

CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Transfer the scallions to a small bowl of ice water to crisp.
• Peel the cucumbers in alternating stripes, trim ends and cut cucumbers lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, if desired. Cut cucumbers into bite-size pieces (thin slices, 1/2-inch cubes, or smashed into irregular shapes), then transfer to a colander set in the sink. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside to drain, at least 5 minutes or up to 15.
• When you're ready to eat, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Using a spoon, remove the flesh from the skins, then cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and season with salt. Stir to combine.
• Shake the cucumbers in the colander to get rid of any excess moisture, then transfer to the bowl with the avocado. Drain and shake the scallions in the colander. Add the scallions to the bowl.
• Stir the salad ingredients vigorously just until the avocado breaks down a bit. The cucumbers should be glossed with avocado but the majority of the avocado pieces should still remain cubed. Season to taste with salt, lemon and red-pepper flakes or hot sauce.

CRISPY AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Only use half the can of chickpeas.
• Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl except for the tortilla chips.
• Mash the avocado with a fork.
• Fold the salad over a few times to mix.
• Then top with the blue Tortilla chips and fold salad again.

CRISPY AVOCADO, BACON & TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• For the Crispy Avocado: Halve your avocado and run a sharp knife gently around the perimeter of each half to loosen the meat from the skin. Gently remove the skin and the seed and discard.
• Slice each half into wedges, about 8-10. Don't slice them too thin; you want them to hold up to the breading and frying. Sprinkle the wedges with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper.
• Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Place the beaten egg in another bowl. Mix together the panko and Parmesan cheese in a third bowl. Dredge each slice of avocado in the flour, gently shake off any excess flour. Dip into the egg mixture, then finally into the panko mixture, coating all sides well. Set aside.
• Pour just enough oil in a frying pan to just cover the bottom. Heat over medium high heat until oil becomes hot enough to fry. Gently set avocado pieces in the hot oil. Fry on all sides until golden, a total of about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. With a spatula gently remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. This may be done in batches.
• For the Salad: Assemble salad by layering lettuce, tomatoes, shaved Parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon. Top with crispy avocado.
• For the Honey-Lime Dressing: Combine honey, vinegar, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper in a Mason jar; shake until fully combined. Ingredients may, also, be whisked in a bowl. Drizzle over salad.
• For the Drizzle: Combine the ranch dressing and Sriracha in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated. Drizzle over salad.

CRISPY BACON AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Make a French Dressing. Put the vinegar, oil, lemon juice, mustard and brown sugar into the jar. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Screw the lid of the jar on tightly and shake the contents well for a minute. Pour into a jug ready to serve.
• Wash and dry the lettuce. Shred it and put it into the bowl.
• Chop up the cucumber and apple. Peel the avocado and cut the flesh into medium-sized chunks. Mix with the lettuce.
• Cut the rind off the bacon rashers and grill under a low to medium heat for about 6 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Allow to drain on kitchen towel.
• Slice the warm bacon into small pieces. Gently mix the pieces into the salad. Sprinkle with parsley.
• Serve while the bacon is still warm with the jug of French dressing.
