Summer Salad

Ingredients

• 50g rocket & spinach
• 1 medium avocado, diced
• 100g cucumber diced
• 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 white button mushroom, sliced thinly
• 100g raw celery, thinly sliced
• 2 red radish, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh peach (diced into cubes)
• 2 gold kiwi (diced into cubes, keep the skin on  if you want to feed those gut bugs!)
• A handful of unsalted almond (crushed)
• 2 tbs of pepitas
• 2 tbs of sunflower seeds 
• 1 small lime (juiced and zest)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• pinch of salt and pepper to taste
• 1-2 tbs avocado oil

Steps

1. In a big bowl, combine any green leafy vegetable of choice (we used rocket and spinach). Add in all the cut vegetables (again, go nuts and be sure to use anything from the crisper that’s on its last legs).
2. Add in your fave Summer fruits (nectarine, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes). We used gold kiwis and peaches.
3. Add in the nuts and seeds.
4. Add in the lime juice, lime zest, garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
5. Drizzle in avocado oil and lightly toss salad with one hand, preferably with a rosé or Aperol spritz in the other.
