This dish was inspired by a recipe I found on the lovely Iza's blog - so many amazing, healthy ideas - check out the page here :)
Crunchy ciabatta, fresh herbs and zingy dressing make this salad waaay more exciting than the typical lettuce leaf/cucumber combo. Oh, and red wine is a must! Hope you enjoy..!
Ingredients - Salad
- Loaf of ciabatta, cubed
- 800g assorted cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 1 small red onion, finely sliced
- 3 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- A few sprigs of fresh basil and oregano
Ingredients - Dressing
- 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp salt
Method
Preheat oven to 180°. Place cubed ciabatta on baking sheet and bake for around 5 minutes - just until the bread has dried out. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Pour lemon juice over avocado and mix gently - this will stop the avocado going brown if you want to save some salad for later. Mix tomatoes, avocado, onion, ciabatta and capers in a large bowl.
Mix together dressing ingredients and pour over salad.
Garnish with fresh basil and oregano... enjoy!
Looks delicious! Will deffs try this one
