Ingredients for fruit and vegetable salad
For 6 glasses:
½ melon (e.g. Charentais) ½ cucumber 2 tomatoes 2 peppers (red and orange) 1 spring onion fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, mint and/or watercress
For the dressing:
1 avocado, peeled and pitted ½ cup Greek yogurt ¼ cup olive oil 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, chopped pepper and salt
Quickly prepare a cold starter in a glass
Peel, deseed and quarter the melon and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut the peppers into strips and slice the tomatoes and cucumber. Prepare the dressing by mashing the avocado and tossing it with the lemon juice and garlic. The juice will keep the avocado from turning brown. Add the yoghurt and olive oil. Season with pepper and salt. Divide the vegetables and melon evenly among six glasses. Start with a layer of peppers on the bottom. Then comes the melon, cucumber and the dressing. Repeat the layers until the veggies are gone and finish the layered salad with dressing. Garnish with the selected herbs. Your salad in a glass is ready for the party.
