Description
This easy salad combines the vibrant sweetness of kiwis with the buttery richness of ripe avocados, all harmoniously blended with tangy feta cheese and crisp greens.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cups butter lettuce or mixed greens (arugula, baby spinach, or spring mix)
- 10–12 black olives, pitted (Kalamata preferred)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (or plant-based feta for dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- To start, lay a generous layer of butter lettuce or your choice of mixed greens on a large serving platter. Ensure the leaves are evenly spread out, providing a lush foundation for the other ingredients.
- Next, layer the kiwi slices and diced avocado artfully across the bed of greens. These vibrant fruits not only add sweetness but also provide a creamy texture that complements the salad beautifully. Follow by placing the thinly sliced red onion evenly on top. Finish off this layer with the black olives, scattering them over the greens for a delightful briny kick.
- The feta cheese is a real game-changer in this salad; crumble it generously over the top of the salad. Its sharp, tangy flavor melds perfectly with the other ingredients, creating a delicious contrast.
- Now, it’s time to dress your salad. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and your choice of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice across the top. This adds flavor and helps to bring the salad together. Season with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper to elevate the taste even further.
- If desired, top the salad with fresh basil or mint leaves for an aromatic touch. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispness of the ingredients—including the crunch of the greens and the juiciness of the fruits.
