    This recipe is for a simple avocado salad that is perfect as a side dish. This salad is definitely one of my family favourites and we enjoy it at least once a week with one of our mid-week meals.

    Simple Avocado Salad

    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. Most avocado salad recipes have similar ingredients but tend to vary slightly. Over the years I have seen different recipes and picked up little tips so I can find my ideal way of making an avocado salad.

    As well as avocado, this salad contains a mixture of vegetables including chopped cucumbers, red onion, cherry tomatoes and sliced yellow bell peppers. It is nutritious with a range of healthy nutrients including healthy fats. It is drizzled in a delicious lemon dressing that compliments the flavours of the salad very well and gives it great texture.

    This healthy salad is filling and will pair well with any meal you serve. If you’re following a low carb diet, you can serve this salad with some baked chicken or fish. If you’re not eating low carb then serve with any meat along with pasta, potatoes or rice. The salad is also vegan friendly and gluten free so whatever way you eat, this salad will fit into your diet.

      I made this salad today but left out the peppers as I don’t like peppers, it was still delicious. I served it with grilled chicken.
