When I was writing my salad cookbook, Fresh: Nourishing Salads for all Seasons, someone mentioned to me that they really loved apple and avocado together in a salad. The idea interested me, but I never tried it; That is, until last week. I love the combination!

Here I combine diced Pink Lady apples, avocado and cilantro in a green salad. It is a very refreshing combination. My Everyday Salad Dressing goes really well with this salad. (You can get the updated version of it here, as well as the recipe for another favorite salad, Leon Salad).

This simple salad is a delight, and I am sure to make is again (and again). Thanks to whoever you were that mentioned this combination! It’s delicious.

(You might also like this recipe for Avocado, Egg and Bacon Salad, and this video showing how I wash and prepare a head of lettuce to eat in 2 minutes.)

Apple, Avocado, and Cilantro Green Salad Serves 4-6

    1 head of lettuce (romaine, green or redleaf, butterleaf), washed and cut or torn into bite sized pieces.
    2 avocados, peeled and cubed
    2 Pink Lady apples (or similar tart but sweet apple), cored and diced
    ¼ bunch of cilantro, stemmed
    Everyday Salad Dressing

1. Combine salad ingredients in a large salad bowl and toss with dressing right before serving. Tip: Don’t cut apples or avocados too far in advance. If you do, toss with a bit of dressing to help slow down the oxidation rate.

    This is just the sort of salad that we like: simple and full of avocados! We raise avocados on our family farm and love to post good avocado recipes on the Facebook page for our avocado subscription business. Today we’ll share your post! Thank you!

    I love this simple and tasty salad especially since it features avocados, cilantro, leafy greens, and apples which are all some of my favorite foods. I will be making it this week, thanks for sharing!

    Apples give a new dimension to salads by adding the crispness and a bit of sweetness. As fans of avocado and apples, this would be a huge success for my family.

    Hi Kimi,

    Great salad! I have to say, I really love the apple avocado combo. I make a mayo-free chicken salad with green apples and avocado and it’s super yummy!

    Be Well,
    -Amber

    I just made this and it was delicious! I cut the avacado and apples smaller for my children and it was a huge hit.
