Chef’s notes
- Check dried apricot labels for sulphites; buckwheat is naturally gluten-free but prepared ingredients and cross-contact still matter.
- When scaling, adjust pan or tin size and work in batches where needed; cooking and proving times follow texture and temperature, not the portion multiplier.
Keeping
Keep cooked components and dressing refrigerated separately at 4°C or below for up to 2 days. Assemble leaves, herbs and avocado just before eating; do not store a dressed salad for later service.
