[[Avocado pears]], flakes of [[smoked]] [[mackerel]] and a zingy dressing make this [[salad]] idea for a summers day meal

Although this dish really should be served on one large dish, as we often want to use the remainder of the salad for another meal we serve the two separately.

'''Avocado salad'''

===Serving suggestions===

Serve both dishes chilled

===Chef's notes===
Don't be tempted to add [[salt]] as processed [[mackerel]] can be quite salty already, as can [[nam pla]].
