Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 150 g Rucola
  • 1 Mango
  • 1 Avocado
  • 125 g Mini-Mozzarella-Kugeln (mini mozzarella balls)
  • 20 g Pinienkerne (pine nuts)

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/2 Orange (for juice)
  • 1 EL Olivenöl (1 tablespoon olive oil)
  • 1 EL Balsamico Bianco (1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar)
  • 1 TL Ahornsirup (oder Honig) (1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey)
  • Salz und Pfeffer (salt and pepper, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Vorbereiten (Prepare): Wash the rucola thoroughly. Peel the mango and cut the flesh into small pieces. Cut the avocado into small pieces as well. Drain the mini mozzarella balls carefully.
  2. Pinienkerne rösten (Toast pine nuts): In a dry pan, roast the pine nuts without any fat until they turn golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Dressing Zubereitung (Make dressing): Squeeze the juice from half an orange into a bowl. Add the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup (or honey). Whisk together thoroughly and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Mischen (Mix salad): In a large bowl, combine the washed rucola, diced mango, avocado pieces, drained mini mozzarella balls, and toasted pine nuts. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mangoes and avocado for the best texture.
  • Toast the pine nuts carefully, as they can burn quickly.
  • Adjust sweetness of the dressing with more or less maple syrup or honey according to preference.
  • This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the crunchy pine nuts and fresh greens.
  • Can be made vegan by substituting mozzarella with vegan cheese or omitting it.
