Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch silverbeet leaves, roughly chopped

  • 3 cups Coles brussels sprouts, finely shaved 

  • 1/3 cup whole roast almonds, sliced  

  • 6 red radish, sliced into thin rings on a mandolin 

  • 1 large avocado, peeled, cut into 6 wedges 

  • 30 g parmesan cheese, peeled with a vegetable peeler 

Avocado Caesar Dressing

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled, seeded

  • 2 good quality anchovy fillets 

  • 1 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil 

  • juice and zest of 1 lemon 

  • 1 clove garlic, peeled

  • 1 heaped tsp Coles dijon mustard 

  • 1 tbs worcestershire sauce 

  • 1 tsp Coles finest pure Canadian maple syrup (or honey) 

  • sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste 

Method

  • Place all the avocado caesar dressing ingredients into the base of a high-speed blender. Blitz until smooth and creamy, adding a dash of water if the mixture needs loosening. Set aside.

  • Remove the stems from the silverbeet, roughly slice the green leaves and place into a large mixing bowl. Slice the brussels sprouts and add in with the silverbeet along with half the almonds, half the radishes and half the parmesan.

  • Pour in a couple of tbs of the avocado dressing into the salad and gently toss to coat everything.

  • Place the salad onto a serving platter and top with avocado wedges, remaining radishes, almonds, parmesan shavings, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and cracked pepper.
