  • To make the dressing: Using a food processor blend garlic, avocado, lemon/lime juice, oil, yoghurt, water and salt & pepper together until you reach a creamy consistency.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss all ingredients together.

For the dressing: you may need to add a little more oil, water or yoghurt to reach desired consistency. This might take a little bit of playing around to get it right but it’ll be worth it!
