Gooseberry-Cucumber-Avocado Salad with Lemon Balm & Umami Crumble

AUGUST 13, 2021

Summer, Sunshine, Gooseberry Goodness

This plant-loaded gooseberry-cucumber-avocado salad with a super satisfying umami crumble is a true summer hit. It is easy to prep (no cooking involved), full of flavor and on top of all - super healthy (thanks to all of the seasonal veggies and herbs that make part of this composition).

I suggest serving the salad as an appetizer or, if you feel like prepping the dish for yourself, as a light summer lunch or dinner. (To make it a full meal though, I would add another protein source, such as roasted tofu or tempeh). 

Enjoy!

4 SERVINGS PREP TIME : 20 min COOK/REST TIME : 0 min
This plant-loaded gooseberry-cucumber-avocado salad is a true summer hit and the perfect cooling for a hot summer day. As a finish, I recommend lemon balm which adds a wonderful fresh balance to the water-rich vegetables. And as a very exciting carby side, I went for a savory,rich and super satisfying umami crumble.

PREPARATION :
  1. Umami Crumble: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and knead until a firm dough is formed. Break the dough into crumbs and bake in the preheated oven at 170*C (hot air) for about 15 min
  2. Gooseberry Salsa: Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender and mix until smooth.
  3. Salad: Wash and peel the cucumber and the avocado cut both vegetables into big chunks. Half the gooseberries. Then, start decorating the plate. I recommend to place them into a half moon shape onto a round plate. Finish the dish with the umami crumble, fresh lemon balm and the gooseberry salsa.
