Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

This salad goes particularly well with beef and chicken dishes (especially roasts), but also ties in well with Italian dishes such as pastas. The basil and garlic are the biggest flavours, whilst the lettuce and avocado lend a mild, creamy element to the salad. You could also consider adding half-slices of cucumber to add bulk and a freshness to the mix.
