Last time, I was on the tube for going to an important meeting and I was too stressed for listening some music so I decided to keep my mind occupied reading the newspaper left in the carriage. I was quite surprised to read about the “avocado hand” injury, it was not a joke but apparently as avocado is quite trendy to eat, more and more people are putting them in their diet… and they are not enough careful about their hand/finger when they are trying to remove the stone from the avocado, their knife is sliding to hand/finger. The newspaper was saying that it is the most middle-class disease ever.

This gave me the inspiration for my next lunch box, as I know that smoked salmon is quite a “catch” with the avocado, I decided to add both of them in a simple mix with roman heart lettuce and plum tomatoes. I topped the salad with a mix of salad seeds in order to have more goodness to the whole mix. It was a really tasty and healthy salad and it will, without doubt, become one of my “must have” recipe for this summer

• SERVE: 
• PREPARATION: 15 minutes
• COOK: 0 minutes
• DIFFICULTY: 

What do you need?

• 2 avocados
• 2 large fresh plum tomatoes
• 1 romaine heart lettuce
• 250 g smoked salmon

How to do a salad with avocado, tomato and smoked salmon?

• Salad seeds/mix of seeds
• Slice the roman heart lettuce and wash it carefully
• After draining the salad put the lettuce sleeve at the bottom of the lunch box
• Wash and slice in pieces (as many as you like) the tomatoes and add them on top of the salad
• Peel carefully the avocado and put in pieces
• Add them to the salad with tomatoes
• Slice in thin pieces the smoked salmon and add it to the salad
• Top the salad with seeds mix

  If you want to add more flavour to the seeds, don’t hesitate to roast them a few minutes in a pan without oil at medium heat

• For the seasoning, use 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper

If you like it, you can add some dill, it is quite tasty with the salmon

If you prepare your lunch box the day before,

• keep the stone of the avocado and leave it in the salad that will avoid the avocado slices to turn black
• put the seasoning aside for making sure that the vinegar doesn’t damage the salad
