Green Salad
 

NO RAW DEAL

Mange-Tout & Avocado Salad


Serves 4-6

Ingredients

1 lb/450g mange-tout, top and tail and remove strings if necessary
2 small/medium avocados, peeled and chopped small
2 oz/50g small fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

If the mange-tout are very young and tender just top and tail them and use raw in the salad.

If a little older, boil them very briefly for 2-3 minutes.

Use only the flat pads; those pads in which the peas have been allowed to develop will already be stringy and starchy.

Method

Combine the mange-tout, avocados, mushrooms, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper and toss them well together. Garnish with parsley and serve.
