1 cup raw walnuts
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp Tajin chile & lime seasoning available online
1 tsp flaky or course sea salt

Avocados

Instructions

Prep the citrus pickled onions

Place the sliced onions in a shallow bowl, pour the lime over the onions and sprinkle with sea salt. Stir well then let marinate for at least 20 minutes then drain the liquid.

Roast the walnuts

Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the walnuts onto the prepared baking sheet and toss with olive oil, Tajin and sea salt. Roast in the oven 5-8 minutes stirring once.

Grill the avocados

Lightly oil a grill pan and place it over medium heat.
Brush the avocado halves lightly with olive oil and drizzle with the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Place the avocados flesh side down on the preheated grill and cook for 5 minutes, or until they have nice dark grill marks. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Assembling the salad

Arrange the Taylor Farms Kale Chopped Salad greens on a large platter. Sprinkle the cheese packets, tomato halves, pickled onions, chile lime walnuts and coconut bacon over the top.
Nestle the avocado halves into the salad and place the lemon wedges around the outside of the platter.
Serve immediately with the lemon vinaigrette from the salad kit.
