This salad with avocado is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-to-make-with-avocado\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-to-make-with-avocado\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">amazing avocado recipe<\/a> that comes together in only 25 minutes. It&#8217;s a delightful combination of creamy avocados, crisp greens and a zesty lime dressing, plus a few extra ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Salad with Avocado<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Lemon juice:<\/b> A squeeze of fresh lemon juice keeps the avocados from browning and adds a bit of tang to the salad. If you&#8217;re out of lemons, lime juice works in a pinch.<\/li>\n<li><b>Avocados:<\/b> Avocados add a creamy richness that makes the salad hearty and satisfying. If you don&#8217;t have any ripe avocados on hand, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-quickly-ripen-an-avocado\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-quickly-ripen-an-avocado\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">ripen avocados quickly<\/a> by putting them in a paper bag with a banana or apple.<\/li>\n<li><b>Spring mix salad greens:<\/b> These tender greens create a light, fluffy base. Want more crunch? Swap in another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/guide-to-leafy-green-vegetables\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/guide-to-leafy-green-vegetables\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">leafy green vegetable<\/a> like romaine or kale.<\/li>\n<li><b>Plum tomatoes:<\/b> This tomato variety adds juicy, sweet bites to the salad. Cherry tomatoes work, too, if that\u2019s what you\u2019ve got.<\/li>\n<li><b>Red onions:<\/b> Onions add a sharp bite and a bit of crunch. You can soak them in cold water for 10 minutes if you prefer a milder flavor.<\/li>\n<li><b>Toasted walnuts:<\/b> Toasted walnuts bring a nutty crunch to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">salad recipes<\/a>. If you avoid nuts, try pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.<\/li>\n<li><b>Olive oil:<\/b> Olive oil adds a smooth, rich base to the homemade lime dressing. Avocado oil also works if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><b>Parsley and cilantro:<\/b> Parsley adds a fresh, slightly peppery flavor to the dressing, while cilantro contributes a citrusy kick. If you&#8217;re not a cilantro fan, add more parsley or swap in fresh basil.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sour cream:<\/b> Sour cream gives the dressing a creamy tang. Feel free to swap in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/substitute-for-sour-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/substitute-for-sour-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">sour cream substitute<\/a> like Greek yogurt.<\/li>\n<li><b>Lime juice: <\/b>Lime juice adds a\u00a0zesty, tangy flavor that ties everything together. Lemon juice will work if you\u2019re out of limes.<\/li>\n<li><b>Yellow mustard:<\/b> A little mustard adds spice and helps blend the dressing. We use yellow mustard, but Dijon mustard works as well.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sugar:<\/b> A small dash of sugar balances the acidity and adds a touch of sweetness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the avocados<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2057336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Salad-With-Avocado_TOHD24_49465_ChristineMa_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Prepare avocados\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Drizzle the lemon juice over the avocados.<\/p>\n<p><i>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/i> Let the avocados sit in the lemon juice for a few minutes to soak up even more tangy flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Assemble the salad<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2057337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Salad-With-Avocado_TOHD24_49465_ChristineMa_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Assemble salad\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a serving bowl, combine the salad greens, tomatoes, onion, walnuts and avocados.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare the lime dressing<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2057338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Salad-With-Avocado_TOHD24_49465_ChristineMa_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Prepare lime dressing\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, parsley, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, mustard, salt, pepper and sugar.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Dress the salad<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2057339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Salad-With-Avocado_TOHD24_49465_ChristineMa_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Dress the salad\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pour the lime dressing over the salad and toss to coat.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>Use a gentle hand when tossing the salad so the avocados stay intact.

Avocados are high in potassium, and studies have shown they may help raise good cholesterol (HDL) levels. However, avocados are also high in fat. Even though avocados contain what are considered &#8220;healthy fats,&#8221; they may need to be enjoyed in moderation.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you choose a ripe avocado for a salad with avocado?<\/h3>\n<p>Pick avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
