In praise of a simple salad - mango and avocado

Hi Kalimna here. Some nights I have no enthusiasm for cooking. So a simple salad is an ideal solution.

This “summer nights salad” is from Summer Foods by Lola Berry. Full of flavour it is an easy favourite.

ingredients

  • 1 cup macadamias, lightly toasted

  • 2 large avacados, cubed

  • 2 large mangoes, sliced

  • 1/2 red onion, finely sliced.

  • 150g rocket, washed and dried

  • 75g crumbled goat’s feta

  • zest and juice of 1 lime

  • 3tbsp olive oil

  • 1tbsp whole grain mustard

  • 2 tbsp honey (melted)

  • salt and pepper

method

Lightly toast the macadamias in a small frying pan over low heat.

To make the dressing whisk the lime, oil, mustard, honey and salt and pepper together.

Place all ingredients together, adding the rocket last to avoid bruising.
