SPINACH, AVOCADO, PUMPKIN SEED SALAD
Courtesy of Nigella Lawson. She also included smoked salmon which is a delighful addition to this salad. The dressing is really tart but compliments everything very well and the seeds add a great crunch. You can also use lettuce leaves as a substitute. (If the dressing is too tart for your taste, feel free to add a little sugar or honey.) Enjoy!!!

Steps:
- Put the spinach leaves and pumpkin seeds into a large salad bowl.
- Halve the avocados and then remove the stones. Spoon out the flesh over the salad leaves and pumpkin seeds.
- Mix the olive oil, lime juice, and zest in a small bowl. Add the salt and whisk to emulsify.
- Pour the dressing over the salad, and then gently toss everything together using your hands. Take care not to mush the avocado pieces.
- Serve this salad immediately as the spinach leaves are very delicate.
- If you are using the smoked salmon, add 1 slice per serving-drizzle with a little lime juice and top with a little cracked black pepper.
