Avocado and beetroot salad

I do like delicious, delicate salads. This avocado and beetroot salad is one of my favourites – I make it often when I have leftover roasted  beetroot in the fridge. It’s ready in just 5 minutes and ideal as a healthy, light lunch or supper. I serve it with gluten-free blinis, fritters or scones, but other wholesome rolls or breads would go well with it too.
