Essentially a deconstructed guacamole, this salad takes the key elements of the classic Mexican dip and puts them front and centre. Grilling the avocados provides a smoky note but it is essential you use firm and ripe avocados that won’t leave you with a mushy hot mess. The dressing is smooth, creamy and vibrantly green, perfect for those days when only virtuous will do!
