Asparagus Avocado and Caper Salad

Posted 2018-05-14 by Maddy Butler ⇒ follow

A nice, light salad that would make a great accompaniment for lamb cutlets, chicken or pork. Don't forget the garlic; it turns crisp in the oven and provides a nice, small crunch alongside the creamy avocado, tart capers and delicious asparagus.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients
Large handful of mixed greens
2 bunches of asparagus
1 garlic clove
1/2 avocado
1/8 cup capers (plus a tiny bit of the vinegar)
Olive oil
Juice of half a small lemon
Salt and pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Break the stalks off the end of the asparagus spears. Lay out on a baking tray. Thinly slice a garlic and scatter over the asparagus. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tray in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is cooked through.
