Green Bean Avocado Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing
Recipe video above. Copycat of a popular salad at a charcoal chicken chain in Sydney called Chargrill Charlie's. I don't go for their chicken. But they do good salads! Love the avocado on avocado in this. :)Haven't tried but I imagine asparagus and broccolini would be terrific alternatives to the beans (similar shape and texture).Serves 6 to 8 as a side, 3 - 4 as a light meal with crusty bread or soft rolls.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Dressing:
2
Place all ingredients into a Nutribullet or small food processor and blitz until smooth (including any Extra Flavouring Options suggested in the standalone Creamy Avocado Dressing recipe).
avocado (large, or 2 medium) (, diced into 1.5cm / 2/3" pieces)1cup ripe avocado (smush into cup to measure, or estimate - 1/2 medium avo)1/2
3
Use water to thin to just pourable consistency (so it's not super gloopy and thick). Taste and add the following to taste: salt, pepper, lemon, oil.
water (to thin out, it's very rich!)4 tbsp
4
Salad:
5
Steam green beans using method of choice until soft (I microwave, ⏱️ 5 minutes on high). Drain then leave to cool and dry.
6
Place remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl with the beans. Drizzle with half the Dressing. Toss. Serve with remaining Dressing on the side.

Presention note: It looks a bit of a mess once tossed. If you're serving to impress, just drizzle the Avocado Dressing over and take to the table like that (see in post, it's much prettier!).
