When I make an avocado salad, I usually cut them into chunks. However, I have recently started creaming the avocado and adding it to the salad. The creamy avocado itself acts like a dressing and a healthy one at that. It gives a different flavour too.
In addition, given its versatility it can go on any salad. With this particular salad you the bright crunchy yellow sweetcorn, deep green velvety spinach as well as wild leaf lettuce leaves.
Also there are sweet red tomatoes. The salad was also seasoned with garlic and an array of herbs such as parsley, mint and coriander. This is a great salad to make in the summer especially with a chicken wing meal.
