Avocado and Chard salad with Tangerine aroma

Insalata di Avocato e Bieta aromatizzata al Mandarino

The perfect way to include the Citrus peel in your diet!
The tangerine peel is the star of this recipe, it gives a fresh citrus taste to the entire dish and, together the other vegetables, provides an high quantity of vitamins and fibers. I suggest to crumble the tangerine peel with the garlic masher.
It’s a quick and easy meal, so different from the most popular salads.

Preparation time: about 10 minutes
Cooking time: -
Class: cheap, very healthy

Serves 2

Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
½ onion, peeled and finely chopped
4
tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
about 7 oz. (200g) chopped chard, clean
salt to taste

6-7 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 -3 tbsp. fresh organic tangerine peel, crumbled

Method:
1. Peel the avocado, then slice it and put into a food processor. Add onion and 2 tbsp. of lemon juice, and blend together, reducing to a thick puree.
2. Spoon the avocado puree into each serving plate and place on it a portion of chopped chard. Season each portion with salt, oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with tangerine peel and serve immediately.
