This light, healthy avo, feta and nut salad is a real crowd pleaser and one of my favourite summer salad recipes. In fact, I often eat this for a protein-rich lunch. 

If you're following a vegan eating plan, simply swap out the feta for tofu or add more nuts and seeds and some lentils. 

Serves 4 as a main meal

Ingredients:

For the dressing:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp vinegar of choice
  • 1 Tbsp honey / sweetener of choice
  • 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 tsp garlic powder / crushed garlic
  • Salt and black pepper

For the salad:

  • 100g baby spinach / wild rocket
  • 2 avocado, cubed
  • 1 cup snap peas (mangé tout), halved
  • ½ cup sprouts
  • 1/3 cup feta
  • ½ cup pecans, broken up and toasted

Method:

  1. Place leaves in shallow, wide salad dish, followed by snap peas, avo, sprouts then pecans. Crumble the feta over the top.
  2. Whisk all dressing ingredients together, decant into a small jug and serve on the side with a spoon.
