Instructions

Instructions and steps:

Step 2 Arrange watercress on a large serving plate and top with avocado mixture and radishes.

Step 3 In a small jug, combine oil and vinegar. Drizzle over salad and top with hazelnuts and parmesan. Toss lightly before serving.

HFG tip

The heart-healthy fats in avocado and hazelnuts contribute to the high fat content. We recommend serving this as a ‘special occasion’ salad.
