Delcado Rice Noodle Salad - by tom walton

“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, chilli, fragrant herbs and zingy rice vinegar dressing in this rice noodle salad,” chef Tom Walton.
