    the dressing could be a little more refined. we added a little bit of honey to add a sweeter component.

    I added some freshly chopped coriander to the dressing which added a nice flavour.

    very tasty as a main salad for dinner, easy to make but a little sharp so will take earlier left advice and add honey next time!

    I thought this salad was really tasty and so quick to make. I added the honey to the dressing as suggested and it really makes a diffirence.the only bad point was that my avocado was like a rock :(
