Oak lettuce, avocado and pear salad

This is one of my absolute favourite Autumn salads and wins many praises when I make it when we have guests. It is so easy and yet so tasty! You can use any lettuce really, but I find that the texture of the oak lettuce adds to the yumminess of this salad.

Ingredients:

Salad

• Head of 1 oak lettuce

• 1 ripe avocado

• 1 crunchy green pear

• Handful of macadamia nuts

  Dressing

• equal parts olive oil and white wine vinegar

• 1 tsp of dijon mustard

Method:

1. Remove the bottom of the oak lettuce and thoroughly wash all leaves of the lettuce. (I tend to wash mine in a salad spinner to ensure it gets a good clean). Drain the lettuce well and place in a salad bowl

2. Slice the avocado and pear into the bowl

3. Sprinkle the macadamia over the salad

4. Combine the salad dressing ingredients and pour over the salad immediately prior to serving.

5. Toss salad well to combine
