Avocado, radish, orange & pea shoot salad

Ingredients

• 100g mixed green salad leaves
• 75g pea shoots
• 2 large ripe avocados, cubed
• 2 naval oranges, segmented
• Large handful radishes, thinly sliced
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp light extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp runny honey

Method

Assemble the salad either on small individual plates or in a large bowl, covering the bottom with green leaves and sprinkling the pea shoots and the other fruit and vegetables over the top.

The proportions for mixing this slightly sweetened, honeyed vinaigrette are to my personal tastes, but you can adjust them as necessary, before seasoning to taste with a little salt and pepper and drizzling over the salad just before serving.

ALTERNATIVE: To turn this salad into the star of the show rather than a side dish, fresh white crab meat would make a wonderful addition.
