Monique's Sexy Recipes: Arugula, Avocado, and Asparagus Salad



Arugula Avocado Asparagus Salad

This recipe contains 3 foods known to be aphrodisiac by the ancients and by adding the basil vinaigrette it embraces the sensual feeling

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch arugula, or 5 ounces baby arugula, washed and spun dry
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 bunch pencil asparagus, steamed for 3-4 minutes
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 4 tablespoons toasted pistachio nuts
  • For the Basil Vinaigrette:
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped shallot
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Preparation:

Divide the arugula between 4 plates. Quarter the avocado, and slice each quarter lengthwise into 4-5 segments, sprinkling with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Fan each quarter of avocado on top of the greens. Divide the steamed asparagus amongst the 4 plates, and top with the pistachio nuts.

Combine the vinaigrette ingredients and spoon about 1 tablespoon of dressing over each salad. Serve immediately.

Serves 4 as an appetizer or 2 as a main course
