Avocado Salad
If you are looking for a lovely light side salad, this is it. The delicious honey mustard dressing is perfect. That zingy dressing really goes the extra mile. The simple ingredients make it a nice accompaniment for many dishes, but it is a particularly good side dish for the Asparagus and Cheese Tart. If you are preparing it ahead, keep the dressing aside and only slice the avocados just before serving.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This salad is a great, simple and tasty accompaniment to a meal, but it is also a great base for a heartier meal into which you can add some more vegetables and protein. The dressing is a hit with a yummy zing to it." - Sally
