Radish And Avocado Salad Mexico Recipes

Steps:

• To make the dressing: In the bowl of a food processor or mini chopper, add the walnuts, shallots and garlic. Pulse until the walnuts are crumbly but the mixture is starting to get a little pasty. Add the oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice and set aside. Cook the asparagus until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer immediately to the ice bath to chill for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Cut diagonally on a long, sharp bias into 2-inch pieces. Add to a serving bowl.
• Add the radishes to the asparagus. Squeeze the lemon juice over the vegetables and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently toss. Spoon the dressing over the salad and toss again. Arrange the avocado over the salad, then garnish with the tarragon and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together lime juice, oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Add avocado and toss gently with a rubber spatula to coat.
• Divide romaine between 2 salad plates, making a nest on each, and put avocado mixture in centers. Sprinkle salads with radishes.

Steps:

• Trim the radishes, then, coarsely chop them by hand, or slice or chop them in a food processor, or julienne-cut them.
• Place the cut radishes in a bowl with the lime juice.
• Quarter, peel and pit the avocado, and cut it in thin slices.
• Gently mix it with the radishes and lime juice. Fold in the onion, season to taste and mound on a platter.
• Sprinkle with coriander leaves.

Steps:

• Place the watermelon, radishes and shallots in a large serving bowl. In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and black pepper.
• Just before serving, pour half of the dressing over the watermelon, radishes and shallots, and toss well. Add the arugula, the avocado and the rest of the dressing, and toss gently. Top with the fresh mint or basil and ricotta salata, if using. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
