Cook Time: mins
Difficulty Level: 1/5

Ingredients

• ¾ cup macadamia halves
• 1 bunch watercress, trimmed
• 1 mango, peeled, diced
• 1 avocado, seeded, diced
• 1 red onion, finely sliced
• Baby radish cress, to serve

Dressing

• ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsps red-wine vinegar
• 2 tsps honey
• 2 tsps Dijon mustard

Steps

01. Place macadamias in a dry frying pan. Cook on medium heat 2 to 3 mins, stirring often, until toasted and lightly golden. Remove from pan and cool.

02. Arrange watercress, mango, avocado and onion on a large serving platter.

03. DRESSING: In a jug, whisk all ingredients together. Season to taste.

04. Drizzle half dressing over salad. Scatter with macadamias and cress. Serve with extra dressing.

TIP: If you don’t like the peppery taste of watercress, use a mixture of baby rocket and spinach leaves instead. Try adding some sliced peach or strawberries, if liked. Keep any leftover dressing in a sealed bottle or jar in the fridge. Bring back to room temperature before using.Photo:
