I’m not sure if I’ve ever told you about my love and adoration of the avocado.
There are really no words.
But let’s just say I’m happy to eat them on any given day, at any given time. Often cut in half with a sprinkle of salt and spoon. But I digress…
In this (very) simple salad, avocados are paired with some garden fresh veggies, garlic (duh!), fresh lemon and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
The result is this easy yet stunning salad that is jam-packed with flavor and super versatile.
It’s great as a side for grilled chicken and fish, a fun appetizer served along some corn chips or veggies, and a delicious host for an over medium egg. #somanyoptions!

Hi Dani, am a working mom of 2 kids – 13 and 8. I have following your channel over the last couple of weeks and it’s inspirational. Love the recipes – simple and easy. I have just embarked on this journey of clean and healthy eating. Hope I can sustain. You have a global audience, would be great if you could do some live shows a tad bit later in your day to suit apac timings

I tried this salad and loved it. I’ve actually done it several times now. It’s one of our favorites. Thanks for sharing

I love this salad as is. My husband prefers it with added fresh green chilli or jalapenos from a jar, as he is a chilli addict: ) My young son prefers it without tomatoes and coriander. The dressing is delicious!
