Broccolini, Prosciutto, Feta And Avocado Salad with a Dijon Dressing

A light and filling salad that’s easy to pull together with the beautiful and fresh combinations of creamy avocado, fresh broccolini and salty prosciutto with Feta cheese. You could also sub the Feta for goats cheese and the prosciutto for smoked salmon.

But not today!

This is: a raid your fridge and pull out whatever you can find to come up with a light, low fat and deliciously low carb lunch…type of situation. Unbelievably refreshing and healthy!

Wow. Who knew, right?

For a moment, I’m going to pretend it’s not turning ever-so-slowly into winter; and instead imagine it’s all warm and hot over here.

It may seem strange to add broccolini into a salad…but I promise it makes for a crisp and fresh salad, adding so much flavour into this salad!

And the peppery radishes compliment the broccolini and bring sunshine into this cold and miserable Melbourne weather.

Plus creamy avocado. You can’t beat that. Personally, I could put avocado on everything. Including my face.

With the crumbled up Feta and prosciutto to add some saltiness, it was the perfect lunch.

And the perfect dressing.

Try this one at home.

I promise it’s not as strange as it seems!
