Prepare the Vegetables
Start by washing and chopping all the vegetables—carrot, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, and sweet corn. Place them in a large salad bowl. For the avocado, carefully peel and mash it in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy. -
-
Make the Dressing
In another bowl, mix together the extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, chopped mint leaves, and dried oregano. Whisk until the ingredients are well combined. -
Chill the Salad and Dressing
To keep the vegetables crisp and fresh, refrigerate both the chopped vegetables and the dressing separately. This prevents the vegetables from releasing water, which could make the salad soggy. -
Assemble the Salad
When ready to serve, mix the chilled vegetables with the mashed avocado in the large salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly. -
Finish and Serve
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and give the salad one final toss. Serve immediately as a light evening snack, or pair it with other dishes such as Pan Grilled Balsamic Chicken Breast and Mushrooms for a more substantial meal.
