Ingredients (about 2 servings):
2 kiwis
2 small Persian cucumbers or ½ of a large English cucumber
½ of avocado
2 tbsp of crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp of roasted sliced almonds
A few parsley fronds
Dressing:
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tsp of champagne vinegar
1 tbsp of good-quality olive oil
1 tbsp of honey
Flaky salt and ground black pepper
A few red pepper flakes
How-to:
1. Thinly slice kiwis and cucumbers with a sharp knife or a mandoline. I did not peel the kiwi skin since the slices are skinny. Moreover, I recently learned that kiwi skin contains lots of antioxidants. In fact, there is a higher concentration of antioxidants in the skin than in the fruit's flesh!
2. Cut avocado lengthwise and set aside with other green gifts of nature.
3. Prepare a tangy dressing - whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
4. Assemble your piece of art with a desired pattern, carefully pour dressing all over, top with feta cheese crumbles, parsley fronds, almonds, red pepper flakes, and some additional salt and pepper.
Feel free to slurp the remaining delicious juice from the plate once you're done eating your salad. Because why not?
