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:
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
Slice the avocado and pear into the bowl
Sprinkle the macadamia over the salad
Combine the salad dressing ingredients and pour over the salad immediately prior to serving.
Toss salad well to combine
