Rich, Buttery and very good for you – Avocados are a great food and can be used in a whole range of meals. This salad is a quick and easy dish, perfectly suited as a starter, or as a light lunch or dinner with some fresh bread or rolls.
For the mixed leaves, aim for a mix of different tastes, textures and colours. Lots of variety in the leaves will make this dish taste different each time, and it’s great for using up what’s left from other salads.
