Ingredients: 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 4 teaspoons honey 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 6 fresh mandarins 1 fresh avocado, halved and thinly sliced cross-wise 3 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds

	Method: Using a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, vinegar, salt, and cayenne. Peel 3 long strips from a mandarin using a vegetable peeler, and cut the strips into matchstick-thickness pieces. Peel the mandarins and separate them into segments. Cut the mandarin segments cross-wise into 2 or 3 pieces. Add the avocado and mandarins to the bowl, and toss to combine. Chill the completed salad until serving time. Sprinkle with the toasted sunflower seeds immediately before serving

	Notes: If you don't have toasted sunflower seeds, croutons are a good substitute Cherry tomatoes or sliced Roma tomatoes are also an excellent addition and can contribute additional flavour and texture
