Avocado Salad

This creamy, tangy/briney and aromatic salad is a great dinner company along with a nice toasted bread and grilled chicken pieces.

I started having salads for dinner recently to sleep better. I have little salad ideas for dinner. I searched for a new salad recipe. I found this Avocado Salad with Herbs and Capers from NYT cooking. It caught my eye because our family like avocados and I had capers in the fridge that I didn't know where I could use and I heard parsley and cilantro had great health benefits.

The prep was a bit daunting because I avoided all stems but if I chopped herbs without picking out leaves, the precess could have been faster.

I really liked the texture and flavor. The creamy avocados along with briney capers, different spiciness from jalapeño slices, crushed garlic and scallion slices made great combination with earthy/peppery parsley and citrusy/pungent cilantro. Surprisingly, both of my kids, 8 years old and 5 years old did eat the dish without much protest. I omitted jalapeño slices from their dish. The only protest I got from my 5 year old boy was capers being too tangy/sour for him.
