Watercress Salad With Avocado, Orange & Chia Seeds

Instructions

  1. Cut the orange peel away with a knife and slice the fruit into bite-sized pieces. You can repurpose the orange peel to make lovely flavoured water.

  2. Make the dressing next and then cut up the avocado just before serving.

  3. Combine the watercress (rinse well, cut, discard larger stems and use for smoothies, soups, etc.) with avocado and orange, and sprinkle with dried cranberries (omit for Whole30) and some chia seeds, which are full of Omega-3 fatty acids and fibre. Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.
