I made this at the weekend and have pretty much been ill since then, but thought I'd try and get my post in before the week was up. Apologies if I don't make too much sense - I am a little feverish.
I wanted to do something different for my salad - I thought about making this amazing salad my mum makes, but it really requires fresh broad beans and Sainsbury's do not have any in stock yet.
Confession time: I had never bought an avocado before (I have eaten it in ready-prepared things just never bought a whole one before). I thought they would be hard to slice open/peel (given the fuss I have seen about 'avocado hand' injuries), but it turns out they're super-easy to get into and I might buy more in future!
Anyway, the salad I made was from Levi Roots's Caribbean Food Made Easy, but it's also available online here. I left off the thyme leaves although I reckon some chopped coriander would be nice in this if that is something you like.
A very refreshing, summery salad. I served mine with roast pork loin and potato wedges.
