This recipe gives a zesty spin on the dinner-time garden salad, combining some of our daughter Sarah’s favourite ingredients. We used fresh coriander to add an aromatic element to this salad and bring out the flavours of the cherry tomatoes and avocado. Sarah loved to make and shake the dressing in an old jam jar, a fun way to get the kids excited about creating salads.
