Place snow peas in a bowl; pour over boiling water. Stand for 1 minute, drain and cool under cold water. Drain well and place in a salad bowl with other ingredients. (Don’t add the avocados until just before serving.)

In a jar, combine all the dressing ingredients and shake well. When ready to serve, gently toss dressing through salad. Serve on salad leaves.
