Avocado, Broad Bean & Apple

I very much love this salad, bursting with freshness and flavor. From Bill Granger's London restaurant, apparently concocted shortly after his move to the UK from Australia.  I found some frozen Japanese broad beans which I shelled…they worked perfectly. I also used rucola instead of watercress, also turned out well.

2 ripe avocados
1 green / Granny Smith apple
handful of broad beans, shelled
2 large handfuls of watercress
1 tsp finely grated ginger
2 tblsp EVOO
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tblsp lime juice
maldon sea salt
lime wedges
  1. prepare dressing by whisking together ginger, EVOO, sugar, soy sauce and lime juice
  2. peel, stone and slice the avocado into relatively thick pieces
  3. cut the apple into match sticks/ juliennes
  4. arrange the watercress on a platter, top with avocado, broad beans and apple
  5. spoon over the dressing and season with salt
  6. serve with lime wedges
