Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the fresh avocado. For easy avocado preparation, please refer to [Link: @6890056]. Remove the skin and pit, then cut the avocado into bite-sized cubes.
Step 2
Next, let’s make the salad dressing. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, whole grain mustard, black pepper, and salt. Whisk them together thoroughly with a whisk until well combined. If it tastes too sour, feel free to add a little more sugar to adjust the sweetness to your preference. Slice the bacon into roughly 1.5cm pieces. Slice the hard-boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, and pitted olives into uniform thickness.
Step 3
Tip! If you’re not using the avocado immediately, to prevent browning, you can toss the cubed avocado with about half a tablespoon of lemon juice. This will help maintain its fresh green color.
Step 4
Cook the macaroni in boiling water with a pinch of salt and a little oil. Cook it for about 1 minute less than the package instructions to achieve an al dente texture. Once cooked, drain the macaroni in a colander and rinse it under cold water to prevent it from sticking together.
Step 5
Place the sliced bacon in a pan and cook over medium-low heat until golden brown and crispy. You can gently blot the bacon with a paper towel to remove excess grease for a cleaner taste.
Step 6
Now, let’s assemble this beautiful salad! Start by spreading a generous layer of fresh sprouts at the bottom of your serving plate or bowl. Artfully arrange the cubed avocado, sliced eggs and tomatoes, olives, corn kernels, and the crispy bacon on top. Serve the zesty lemon dressing on the side. This vibrant and nutritious avocado salad is now ready to enjoy! You can also add nuts or other toppings for extra texture and flavor.
