Smoked salmon & avocado salad
For me, a good salad is a combination of many different textures and tastes – soft, creamy and crunchy, sweet and tangy – and this salad has it all. Buying good-quality smoked salmon is essential, though, so do yourself and your guests a favour and don't go for the cheap stuff!
