Method

  1. Put the garlic, ginger and chilli in a small pan with the soy sauce, sugar, lime juice and 2 tbsp water. Heat slowly, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, then stir in the oil. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  2. Spread the hazelnuts on a plate, then press each wedge of avocado in the hazelnuts to coat.
  3. Toss the iceberg lettuce with the mango, spring onions, most of the herbs, the cucumber and most of the soy dressing. Arrange on plates or a large platter, then arrange the hazelnut-covered avocado quarters on top. To serve, scatter over the remaining herbs, any nuts left on the plate and more dressing, if you like.

  1. If you’re not a fan of chilli, add less (or a pinch of chilli flakes) or leave it out.

  2. Avos are notoriously tricky to catch at the moment of perfect ripeness – one day hard, the next over-ripe and discolouring inside – but innovations in controlling the ripening mean many are now sold as ‘ready to eat’. If ripening at home, check for ripeness by pulling the stem – it should come away easily to reveal green flesh.
