Herby Avocado Salad

This mighty green herby salad is a fresh option to put out at your next BBQ. Do not be shy with the number of herbs added to this salad – those handfuls should be very generous!

Chef Tips:

• If you decide to make this salad ahead of time, add the sliced basil and salad dressing right at the end. This ensures the basil leaves don’t blacken. 
• If you have a soy allergy, use petit pois (green peas) in place of edamame beans.
• Did you know that basil should not be stored in the fridge? It should be stored at room temperature.
