Chef and cookbook author Luke Hines is encouraging Aussies to embrace the arrival of Shepard avocados by not only teaching people how to use and choose a good Shepard avocado, but also the best recipes to use them in – like this one!

Ingredients

SALAD
AVOCADO AND MACADAMIA PESTO (MAKES ABOUT 250G / 2 CUPS)

Method

1.

For the pesto, add all the ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender and blitz until well combined.

2.

To serve, place a spoonful or two of the pesto in the centre of each serving plate and spread it out a little with the back of the spoon. Any leftover pesto will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week and makes a great dip for roasted veg or a topping for pizzas.

3.

For the salad, thinly slice the avocado halves and arrange them evenly over the pesto. Top with the cucumber, radish and alfalfa sprouts, drizzle over the extra-virgin olive oil and scatter over the macadamia nuts to finish. Season well with salt and pepper and enjoy.
