  • Mango, Avocado and Macadamia Salad

    Ingredients

    • 150g rocket leaves (approx. 5 cups)
    • ¼ cup mint leaves, finely chopped
    • ¼ cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

    Method

    Recipe Notes

    • Adapt this recipe to suit your preferences or what you have available. For example, replace the rocket leaves with baby spinach leaves or mixed lettuce, or replace the macadamia nuts wither another type of nut or seed.
    • If mangoes aren’t in season, try tinned (low or no added sugar) or frozen, which will work just as well. Defrost frozen mango in the refrigerator and drain excess liquid prior to adding the mango to the dish.
    • Serve with grilled meat, chicken or fish as well as a grain such as cous cous or quinoa.
    • This recipe is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which are great for our heart health.
    • If possible, choose mangoes grown locally in north Queensland, avocados grown locally in north and central Queensland, as well as macadamia nuts grown on the Fraser Coast.
