Iceberg Lettuce with Miso Avocado Dressing

This is one of my favourite salads as it is so easy and the miso avocado dressing is also perfect with grilled chicken or steamed vegetables.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

● ¼ whole iceberg lettuce, cut into wedges

● 3 whole radish, stems on, halved if desired

● ½ whole avocado, large, ripe

● ¾ tbsp miso paste, white

● 1 tsp maple syrup

● ½ tsp dijon mustard

● ⅛ cup parsley, flat leaf

● ⅛ tsp cracked white pepper

● ½ lemon, juiced

● ¼ cup water, to thin if required

● ½ tsp pink peppercorns, crushed, optional

Method:

1. Arrange iceberg and radishes on a platter.

2. Put all remaining ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.

3. Add more water as needed to thin to the consistency.

4. Spoon into a ramekin. Top with crushed pink peppercorns and serve.
