Ingredients

  • 1 avocado peeled and chopped
  • 1 mango chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cucumber, julienned (small strips)
  • 1/4 cup chopped mint
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup sweet onion slivered
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts or almonds
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • pinch red chili flakes
  • 3 tbsp soya sauce
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 3 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, honey, lime juice, soya sauce and olive oil in a small saucepan. Heat through briefly and remove from heat to let cool. This will be the dressing for the salad.

    For crisp, crunchy lettuce, I chop the lettuce in bite size pieces and place lettuce in an ice cold water bath. Let lettuce sit in the water for at least 5-10 minutes. Drain water and spin lettuce and then you will have crisp, crunchy lettuce.

    Meanwhile, place all other ingredients in a bowl and toss with dressing. (A sprinkling of feta cheese would be a nice addition too! )
