- 180g mixed green lettuce
- 1 large avocado, sliced

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Then place - the sliced avocado over the top of the lettuce.
- Sprinkle the chopped seaweed over the top of the avocado.
- Followed by the toasted seeds and walnuts over the top of the seaweed.
- Just before serving drizzle with olive oil over the top of the salad and toss thoroughly.
Inspiration
- Wakame seaweed works well in place of the arame
- Add lemon or lime juice for some zing
- Use lightly roasted sunflower seeds in addition or instead of the other seeds and/or lightly roasted chopped almonds
- Add radicchio, chicory, rocket, spinach and fresh herbs for variety
- Instead of using whole linseeds sprinkle some milled linseeds over the salad before serving (they are easier to absorb and therefore more nutritionally beneficial)
