Method

For the pancakes: Add the milk, spinach and peas to a blender and blend until smooth, then add in the egg and melted butter for a few more seconds until combined.

Add the flour and baking powder to a large bowl, make a well in the flour and slowly add the pea and spinach mixture whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Add oil to a frying pan and cook the batter over a medium heat, flip over and cook the other side.

To make the sauce add the yogurt, garlic, chopped mint leaves, pepper, dijon mustard and lime juice to a bowl and stir well.

Place the avocado in a bowl and add the chilli, garlic, lime juice, salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mash with a fork to the desired consistency. It can be as chunky or smooth as you like.

When you are ready to serve layer on the yoghurt dressing, smoked salmon and top with the smashed avocado.
