Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 15 minutesCook time: 5 minutesTotal time: 20 minutesServings:6 servings

Ingredients

Tostadas

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 6 corn tortillas (I use @guerrerotortillas)
• Kosher salt

Dressing

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, grated or finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Chopped salad

• 1 cup diced cucumber
• 1 cup diced red cabbage
• 1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1 avocado, diced
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
• Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

Instructions

1. Make the tostadas: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F on convection mode (or 425 degrees F
   on regular bake). Drizzle the olive oil on a sheet pan.
2. Rub both sides of each tortilla in the oil and sprinkle with some kosher salt. Bake for 6 minutes, then flip and bake until deep golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
3. Meanwhile, make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Make the chopped salad: In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, cabbage, tomatoes, onion, avocado, and dill. Add the dressing and toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
5. Spoon the salad onto the tostadas and sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill on each one and enjoy!
