How do I come up with ideas for recipes? Each of them has its own way. To find this recipe, I had to visit Ireland in spring, see the greenest color in the world and fell in love with this country. I had to happen to be at the beach in the storm when the cold wind was whipping my clothes and blowing sand into my eyes, and roaring so loud I couldn’t speak.

We happened to get a table without a reservation in a restaurant that’s always booked up. In was so cozy and warm there, and I spotted a culinary book lying on the windowsill about the most foodie place in Ireland, the Dingle Peninsula, the place we were visiting. I skimmed the book through, and on the next day, I tried to find it in bookstores all over the town. So, I bought it and took it with me to Austria, put on the shelf, glance through it from time to time, read the stories and tried the recipes.

And when I was expecting friends for a dinner, I was looking for a salad to complement the main dish. And was the story about how this wonderful avocado & apple salad happened to be on the table, and now on the website.

I highly recommend it. It’s super refreshing, simple, though incredibly balanced and delicious!

Steps

1 Done 5 min	Make dressing In a bowl, combine together mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, apricot jam and quince syrup until smooth using a whisk. Add ½ tsp olive oil, stir, add more olive oil and stir again. As soon as it starts thickening, add the remaining olive oil and stir until thick and yellow. Add more salt/pepper/lemon juice/syrup if needed. The dressing should have an intense sour-sweet taste.
2 Done 5 min	Cut ingredients Cut the lettuce into 1cm thick strips. Cut the apple in half, remove the seeds, don’t peel. Cut into thin slices. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed and scoop the pulp. Cut into 5mm thick slices.
3 Done 5 min	dress Toss the salad with apples. Dress with half the dressing and toss well. Divide the salad among the plates. Place the avocado slices on top and dress with the remaining dressing. Serve right away. Enjoy!
