  • 3–4 spring onions, roughly chopped
  • 2–3 tbsp chopped coriander
  • 2–3 finely chopped chillies

  • 2 handfuls cherry tomatoes, 
cut in half
  • 1 red onion, peeled and sliced
  • 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds, 
lightly roasted
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 8 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt

Method

Mix the lime zest with the lime juice, chopped chillies, honey and oil, and season with salt.

Cut the avocado in half, lengthwise, and then cut into one-centimetre cubes and set aside.

Cut the mango cheeks off the stone, peel them and cut them into similar sized cubes.

Break the iceberg lettuce into mouth-sized pieces.

Place all the ingredients into a bowl and drizzle the dressing over it and mix it all well through. Plate it in a salad bowl.
