Why You’ll Love The Jessica Alba Salad

You’ll love this salad for its refreshing blend of crisp carrots, juicy cherry 🍅 tomatoes, and creamy avocado. The vibrant colors and fresh flavors make each bite heavenly. Tossed in a simple dressing of olive oil and seasoned to perfection, it’s a satisfying and nutritious dish that’s sure to become a favorite at your table.

How to Prepare The Jessica Alba Salad

🥕 Grate or julienne the carrots, and add to a bowl .

🍅 Then, slice the cherry tomatoes, and peel a large avocado, removing the pit.

🥑 With a knife , slice and dice the avocado, then add it to the bowl.

🧂 Season with salt and pepper to taste.

🍋 To preserve the lemon, poke a hole through the middle with a metal straw, preventing it from drying out and keeping seeds out. Alternatively, cut and squeeze the lemon.

🌿 Drizzle olive oil over the salad, then garnish with parsley, and enjoy!

Nonna’s Tip 🥗

Be sure that you julienne or grate the carrots finely for a more delicate texture and even distribution of flavors throughout the salad.

Common Questions

Protein can be added to this salad by including ingredients such as grilled chicken strips, canned chickpeas, marinated tofu, or boiled eggs.

Poking a hole in the lemon helps prevent it from drying out and keeps the seeds from falling into The Jessica Alba Salad.

Alternatives for avocado in this salad include something such as diced cucumber, boiled eggs, marinated tofu, or creamy cheeses like mozzarella or feta.

I use Redmond Real Salt , please note that depending on the salt you use, your dish may be less or more salty. Salt is to taste so please always taste and adjust as you cook.
