One of the things I love about this salad is how colourful it is. The mix of colours are so pretty and the best thing is that it tastes as good as it looks.

As well as avocado, this salad contains a mixture of vegetables including chopped cucumbers, red onion, cherry tomatoes and sliced yellow bell peppers.
