Ingredients

  • 1 medium avocado, ripe and cut into cubes
  • 150 g (about 5 oz) of cabbage (white or savoy), finely chopped
  • 100 g (about 3.5 oz) cucumber, cut into cubes
  • 50 g (about 1.75 oz) canned corn, drained
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 stalk of celery, cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) natural yogurt
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons (8 g) chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons (8 g) chopped fresh dill

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large salad bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, diced cucumber, drained corn, sliced green onions, and celery pieces.
  2. Add the diced avocado gently into the bowl with the vegetables to prevent it from mashing.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the natural yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth to create a light dressing.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and carefully toss to coat the ingredients evenly without breaking the avocado cubes.
  5. Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro and dill, mixing gently to distribute the herbs for their aromatic flavor.
  6. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer or alongside your main dish for a nutritious complement.
  8. Enjoy your vibrant, healthy salad!

Recipe Notes

  • Cube the avocado just before mixing to prevent browning.
  • Use a sharp knife for chopping vegetables finely and evenly.
  • Gently toss the salad; overmixing may destroy the avocado texture.
  • Fresh herbs make a big difference—use good quality and fresh for best taste.
