Recipe video above. Copycat of a popular salad at a charcoal chicken chain in Sydney called Chargrill Charlie's. I don't go for their chicken. But they do good salads! Love the avocado on avocado in this. :)Haven't tried but I imagine asparagus and broccolini would be terrific alterna

Ingredients

6 servings

500 g / 1 lb green beans (, ends trimmed, cut into 5cm / 2" pieces)
3 tomatoes (, cut into thin wedges)
1 avocado (large, or 2 medium) (, diced into 1.5cm / 2/3" pieces)
1/2 red capsicum / bell pepper (, diced)
1/2 red onion (, finely diced)
1/2 cup ripe avocado ((smush into cup to measure, or estimate - 1/2 medium avo))
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp sour cream or yogurt ((Greek or plain, unsweetened) - OPTIONAL (Note 1))
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 g arlic clove, small (, minced using garlic crusher (Note 2))
4 tbsp water ((to thin out, it's very rich!))
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps

Place all ingredients into a Nutribullet or small food processor and blitz until smooth (including any Extra Flavouring Options suggested in the standalone Creamy Avocado Dressing recipe).
Use water to thin to just pourable consistency (so it's not super gloopy and thick). Taste and add the following to taste: salt, pepper, lemon, oil.
Steam green beans using method of choice until soft (I microwave, 5 minutes on high). Drain then leave to cool and dry.
Place remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl with the beans. Drizzle with half the Dressing. Toss. Serve with remaining Dressing on the side.
Presention note: It looks a bit of a mess once tossed. If you're serving to impress, just drizzle the Avocado Dressing over and take to the table like that (see in post, it's much prettier!).
