Notes & Inspirations
This is one of those beautifully simple salads you’ll come back to again and again. Light, fresh and nourishing, it’s perfect served on its own for a quick lunch or easy dinner.
For a more substantial, high-protein meal, serve alongside or topped with a tin of quality tuna, sardines or wild salmon — the richness of the fish pairs perfectly with the creamy avocado and zesty dressing.
You can also enjoy it with grilled chicken, tofu or simply a dollop of Greek yoghurt for added creaminess. It’s a versatile, feel-good salad that works any time of day.
