Enter: this salad. It’s quick, easy, hassle free, delicious and impressive. Throw a few edible flowers on top for extra colour and wah-lah – dinner party ready!

Ingredients

1 head of cos, shredded lengthwise

4 red radish, thinly sliced (use a mandolin if you have one)

15 pea pods, peas removed

1 avocado, halved and sliced

1 handful of fresh mint leaves, slightly crushed

Dressing

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

Juice of 3 limes

1 clove garlic

3 kaffir lime leaves

1 tbsp coconut sugar

Method

Arrange cos leaves on a large platter. Arrange the rest of the ingredients on top.

Place all dressing ingredients in blender, and blend until kaffir lime leaves are fully blended. Drizzle over salad. I always crack some pepper and a pinch of salt at the end.
