Avocado - apple - frisée - salad

02/12/2014 18 min. preparation time 18 min. total time

Tonight I had a huge bowl of salad with a head of red and a head of green frisée, two diced carrots, a diced cucumber, two diced apples, three quarters of a hass - avocado, the juice of one lemon, some fresh parsley and some quartered cocktail tomatoes.

If not stated otherwise then the amount of ingredients is for one meal, but this could still mean more than one serving of the pictured dish.

All fruits and vegetables have to be ripe. That's of the uttermost importance, only this way are they tasting yummy, are having all their essential nutrients in them and can be digested optimally by our body.

Preparation

Dicing of fruits or veggies

Put the straight blade on your Mandoline - Slicer
Activate the vertical blades and set an offset halve the length of the vertical blades
Cut fruit (like zucchini or cucumber) or veggie once
Turn fruit or veggie by 90 degrees
Cut again to get dices
Turn and cut
Repeat
Stop before you cut your fingers :)

Salad

Wash the lettuce leaves, use your spinner to dry them and put them in a bowl.
Dice your fruits and veggies and also put them in the bowl. A flexible cutting mat is very useful to do so!
Most of the time juicy fruits are enough as a dressing. If you want no other dressing you could just squeeze some lemons or an orange on top of your salad.
