Delight Salad
How do you prepare a complete salad with legumes?
Sauté chopped onion and mix it with beans, oil, and oregano. Cut lettuce, zucchini, celery, fennel, carrot, and cherry tomatoes. Combine all the fresh vegetables in a large bowl with the seasoned beans, diced avocado, and seeds. Dress with oil and vinegar before serving.
One of my favorite dishes, especially when hot days begin and we do not want to turn on the stove. This delightful salad is super complete: it has vegetables, protein, healthy fats, and so much flavor. Simply delicious; I invite you to try it.

Servings: For 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lettuce of your choice
- 2 small zucchini
- 1 celery stalk
- 1 red onion
- 1 fennel bulb
- 1 large carrot
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado
- 20 ml apple cider vinegar
- 240 g white beans, chickpeas, or any legume you like best
- 25 g sunflower seeds
- 25 g pumpkin seeds
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
I admit I do not love the taste of raw onion, so for this type of salad I finely chop it and cook it for a few minutes over medium heat with a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. When it turns translucent, I add the beans and let them absorb the aroma with a pinch of salt and a little oregano. Turn off the heat and let cool. Set aside. If you like raw onion instead, slice it thinly and set aside. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add a couple of tablespoons of oil, the beans, a pinch of salt, and a little oregano and pepper. Set aside.
Wash all the vegetables very well, dry them, and begin preparing them. Separately, chop the carrot and zucchini however you like best.
Finely chop the fennel.
Cut the tomatoes in half, slice the celery into small pieces, tear the lettuce into pieces with your hands, and cut the avocado at the last moment. In a large bowl, add all the chopped ingredients, a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, the vinegar, the seeds, the cooled beans, and the avocado. Mix very well and serve.
I serve it with delicious homemade tortillas, lightly toasted.
Enjoy your meal!
