"Chopped salads are incredibly simple to make – you have to give them a go. If nothing else, they can offer you some chopping practice, so why not make something tasty while you're practising your knife skills?"

1. Get yourself a big chopping board and a large sharp knife.
2. It's best to start by chopping the harder, crunchier veg first, so trim and chop your spring onions and slice your cucumber.
3. Slice your basil.
4. Bring it all into the centre of the board and continue chopping and mixing together.
5. Halve your avocados around the big stone. Carefully remove the stone and peel the skin off.
6. Add the avocado flesh, lettuce leaves and cress to the board.
7. Crumble over the cheese, if using, and continue chopping.
8. When everything is well chopped, you’ll have a big mound of salad on the board.
9. Make a well in the middle and drizzle in 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar.
10. Add a teaspoon of English mustard and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
11. Mix up so everything gets well coated and serve on the board or in a bowl.
