Ingredients
Asian Avocado Salad
- Ingredients
- 1 pc very fresh ginger (about 1.5 inches)
- ½ lemon
- 1 tsp Agave syrup (or honey)
- 2 Tbsps Orange juice
- 1 tsp Rice vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 2 Tbsps Canola oil
- salt
- peppers
- 2 Tbsps Salmon caviar
- 1 ripe Avocado (about 7 ounces)
- 1 bed purple Shiso sprout (or baby greens)
Peel the ginger and finely grate. Place ginger in a clean kitchen towel, firmly squeeze and collect the juice in a small bowl. Or squeeze in a garlic press and reserve juice.
Squeeze juice from lemon. Whisk together lemon juice, agave syrup, orange juice, vinegar and oil in a bowl to make vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully stir in caviar.
Halve avocado, peel, pit and cut lengthwise into thin slices. Place avocado on a plate and season with salt and pepper.
Immediately drizzle avocado with the vinaigrette to keep from browning. Sprinkle with shiso sprouts and serve.

Healthy, because
Their valuable vegetable oils make avocados a heart-healthy fruit, even though they're high in calories and fat. The oils help to lower cholesterol levels and strengthen the heart, and vitamin E and many B vitamins also contribute to heart health.
Even smarter
If you don't want to use caviar, then simply use small shrimps or North Sea crabs instead. They have a similar fat and protein content.
