| Main ingredient: Avocado. Contains dairy, nuts and seeds. |
Serve this chunky avocado salad with crackers or smeared on regular or fancy toast. Our avocado tree bears fruit towards the end of September into early October, it is such a delight and my friends arrive with bags to share in the bounty. Otherwise, I buy ‘pears’ as we affectionately call them from street or market vendors. This recipe is vegetarian but can be made vegan if the feta is omitted.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsps mix of your favourite nuts, toasted and crumbled
- 1 tsp sesame seeds, dry toasted
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, dry toasted
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Crumbled feta, for garnish (optional)
- Herbs for garnish
Method
- Cut avocados in halves, remove seeds, scoop out flesh and add to a bowl with lime juice, herbs, salt and pepper and crush with a fork for a rough yet creamy texture.
- Add nuts, seeds and crumbled feta if using, then sprinkle with lime zest and herbs. Serve immediately.
