Avocado salad with Asian dressing

Ingredients

• 2 avocados, halved, stones removed, peeled, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup mint leaves
• 1/2 cup coriander leaves
• 2 Lebanese cucumbers, halved lengthways, deseeded, thinly sliced crossways

Asian dressing

• 1 tablespoon mirin (see note)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Japanese rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon caster sugar
• 1 tablespoon extra-light olive oil

Method

1. Make Asian dressing; Place mirin, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and oil in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside for 10 minutes for flavours to develop.
2. Place avocado, mint, coriander and cucumber in a bowl. Pour over dressing and toss gently to combine. Serve with barbecued fish, chicken or pork.

Notes

• Mirin is a Japanese low-alcohol wine made from glutinous rice. It adds sweetness and a glaze to dishes.
• This recipe is vegan friendly.
