Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by finely chopping half of the cilantro and parsley, keeping some whole leaves aside for garnishing later. In a mixing bowl, combine these herbs with sliced scallions, minced jalapeño (if using), minced garlic, and a sprinkle of fine sea salt. Drizzle in about two tablespoons of red wine vinegar, and whisk in three tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference.
  2. Select two ripe Haas avocados and slice them in half, removing the pit carefully. Scoop the creamy flesh out with a spoon and slice it into thick wedges. Arrange the avocado slices on a serving plate, ensuring they are visually appealing and spread out, allowing their lush green color to shine among the ingredients.
  3. Gently place the whole cilantro and parsley leaves over the arranged avocado slices. Once the herbs are beautifully positioned, take the mixed dressing from Step 1 and evenly drizzle it over the avocados. This herb-infused dressing will soak into the creamy avocado, enhancing every bite with delightful flavors.
  4. To elevate the flavors of your Avocado Salad With Herbs, sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the entire dish. If you're using capers, scatter a few on top for a briny pop. Now your salad is ready to impress with its vibrant display and delicious taste—perfect for any occasion!
