Fuss free avocado salad

Avocado is not something I eat all that often, yet this nutritious, high fibre, high vitamin food, rich in omega 3 fatty acids and potassium is an ingredient I love using in salads. 

Nothing is easier, cut mid way down a ripe dark brown fruit, twist each side 90degrees, scoop out the flesh and you have instant avocado flesh ready for the salad. My fav way to eat avocado is to smash it up with garlic, lemon and olive oil. My recipe is below. 

Don't stick to just one way, it's amazing how different spices and chillis really jazz this up!

Ingredients
1 large ripe avocado
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp sesame oil
A squeeze of lemon(2 tsp)
Finely diced chilli ( optional)

Add to this simple sauce, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce or any of your fav seasonal greens, and you have a beautiful yummy salad for the family. 

It's really easy to eat well, when u throw in just a little imagination!
