Recipe video above. Copycat of a popular salad at a charcoal chicken chain in Sydney called Chargrill Charlie's. I don't go for their chicken. But they do good salads! Love the avocado on avocado in this. :)Haven't tried but I imagine asparagus and broccolini would be terrific alternatives to the beans (similar shape and texture).Serves 6 to 8 as a side, 3 - 4 as a light meal with crusty bread or soft rolls.
