The creamy-looking dressing for this salad gets its texture and zing from sweet onions and peppery, crunchy papaya seeds. Prep Time: 15 minutes. Ingredients:
1/3 cup rice vinegar |
1/3 cup canola oil |
1/2 small sweet onion (such as maui), chopped, plus 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced into rings and rinsed with cold water |
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh papaya seeds |
1 pound mixed salad greens |
2 avocados, pitted, peeled, and sliced |
Directions:
1. In a blender, whirl vinegar, oil, chopped onion, sugar, salt, and mustard until smooth. Add papaya seeds and pulse until seeds look like coarsely ground peppercorns.
2. In a large bowl, combine onion rings, salad greens, and 3/4 of avocado slices; pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat. Arrange salad on a large platter and top with remaining slices of avocado.
3. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
