Creamy Cucumber Avocado Salad

Step 1

Make the dressing first as it needs to sit in the fridge for 2 hours.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and chop roughly.

Step 3

Peel the salad onion and chop to yield ½ tsp.

Step 4

With a hand blender, blitz the garlic, salad onion, mayonnaise, Greek yoghurt, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and sugar until completely pureed and well combined.

Step 5

Place in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.

Step 6

Cut the cucumber into half. Then cut it down lengthwise around the seeds. Discard the seed. Cut the cucumber into small cubes.

Step 7

Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Add broad beans and boil for 2 minutes. Remove and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. To remove the skin, peel off a small bit at the top and then from the bottom squeeze the broad bean and it will pop out of the skin.

Step 8

Roughly tear the parsley and coriander leaves to yield ½ cup each. Discard the stem.

Step 9

Cut the avocado in half. Discard the seed and peel the avocado. Do so gently as we want the avocado to stay nice and smooth. Place one half flat on the chopping board and slice very thinly. To stop the avocado from sticking to the knife, push down each slice before removing the knife so it stays in place.After slicing, gently fan out the avocado. Let it fan out in its natural curvature. Slowly manipulate it to create a circle. Do the same for the second half.

Step 10

Remove the dressing from the fridge and allow it to stand for about 15 minutes so it gets to room temperature.

Step 11

Place about 8 tbsp on a flat platter. Spread it out evenly by picking up the plate and swirling it so the dressing spreads out evenly. Like you would a pancake batter in a pan.

Step 12

Put the cucumber, broad beans, parsley, coriander and jalapeno into a medium size mixing bowl. Add ½ tsp olive oil, salt and pepper and mix until well combined. Place salad on ¾ of the plate on top of the dressing.

Step 13

Using a large knife or a flat frying utensil to, slide it under the sliced avocado, lift gently and place it on the side of the plate. Do the same for the second half.

Step 14

Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
