Borrowed from Adam Liaw at goodfood

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 1 hour

Method:

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add half the oil. Add the onion and fry until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the anchovies (if using) and fry for a further minute. Remove from the heat and add the remaining oil. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then whisk in the mustard, lemon juice, vinegar and honey.

Season with salt and add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set the dressing aside while you prepare the salad.

Wash the salad leaves, tear them into bite-sized pieces and refrigerate.

When ready to serve, spin the leaves dry and toss together with the cucumber, avocado and just enough dressing to coat.
