This is an unusual savoury salad combination using a refreshing healthy mix of fresh ingredients. No cooking is required and it is suitable for use all year round, especially during the 3 weeks and even Pesach!

Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients including fibre, Vitamin E, B vitamins and folic acid. They are extremely versatile in everything from scones, muffins, smoothies, dips/ salsas to soups, sushi and even ice cream!

To speed up the process of ripening an avocado place the fruit in a brown paper bag and store at room temperature with a banana or apple. Bananas and apples give off natural ethylene gas, so the more apples and bananas in the bag the quicker your avocados will ripen!
