Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Arugula and Broccoli Sprouts

    Wash the arugula and broccoli sprouts thoroughly under running water. Spin them dry in a salad spinner or pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Slice the Red Onion and Avocado

    Thinly slice the red onion and set aside. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop the flesh out with a spoon, and slice it into thin wedges.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pickled Lemon

    If using a whole pickled lemon, slice it into thin rings or wedges, discarding any seeds.

  4. 4

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula and broccoli sprouts. Gently toss in the sliced red onion, toasted pine nuts, and avocado wedges.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the pickled lemon, truffle oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
