Recipe: Delcado Avocado Rice Noodle Salad

Recipe created by Tom Walton for Delcado Avocados.

"This salad is a showstopper, highlighted by creamy Delcado avocados. The Delcado flavour is so versatile. Their creamy, nutty flavour is enhanced the silky rice noodles, cashews, chili, fragrant herbs and zingy rice vinegar dressing in this rice noodle salad” chef Tom Walton.
