  • Quick Tip

    The Easy Way to Remove an Avo Pip:
    Cut down on the stress of avocado pips popping out and flying all over the kitchen with this easy method. Cut the avo in half. Hit the pip with the sharp side of your knife so that it sticks in the pip. Twist the knife so that the pip twists away from the avo flesh and remove the pip.

  • Slice cucumber and celery thinly.

  • Cut the avo in half, remove the pip and slice half of it into thin strips. (Tip: Hold the avo half in your hand, slice the avo flesh down to the skin but don't cut through. Scoop slices out with a spoon.)

  • Toss baby leaves, cucumber, celery, parmesan shavings and walnuts together.

  • When vegetables have cooled mix them together and pour over greens.

  • Layer avo slices over the top.

  • Drizzle the salad with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
