Goat’s cheese and avocado salad with walnuts
This is my favourite summer salad – and super easy to assemble. It’s full of healthy monounsaturated fats and recovery-boosting omega-3s, courtesy of the avocado and walnuts. I love the mild, crumbly texture of young, firm Goat’s cheese with a soft white coat (such as Capricorn) but you can use other varieties of cheese if you prefer.
