Method

step 1

For the dressing, up to a couple of hours beforehand whizz the spring onions with the oil and 1 tbsp water in a food processor until finely chopped. Add all the remaining ingredients in the order they are listed, but don’t process yet.
step 2

Before you serve up the starter, dice the avocados and toss with a little lemon or lime juice on a serving platter or bowl. Cut the cucumber into similar chunks and chop the spring onions. Add these to the avocado with the peas, dill and mint leaves.
step 3

To serve, whizz the dressing ingredients together with some seasoning. Toss most of the dressing with the chopped salad. Put lettuce leaves onto a large platter and spoon the salad ingredients over. Serve the rest of the dressing in a small bowl on the side of the salad.
