Its good to keep a salad like this in the fridge to dip into as a healthy snack any
time you feel hungry...
Ingredients
50g/2oz pine nuts
100g/4oz French beans, halved
2 plum tomatoes, halved and cut into slices
or
100g/4oz cherry tomatoes
200g/7oz mixed salad leaves

Dressing

Method:
Lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until lightly golden. Blanch the beans
in boiling lightly salted water for 3-4 minutes or until just tender.
Make the dressing by whisking together the oil, vinegar, caster sugar and soy sauce and
season to taste. Stir in the blanched beans and the tomatoes and sweetcorn.
Arrange the salad leaves in a dish, cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and skin,
cut into thin slices and arrange on top of the salad leaves with the eggs. Spoon over the
tomatoes, beans and dressing and finish by scattering over the pine nuts.
