Background

This super easy lentil and avocado salad is a lovely, slightly spicy salad, which is super healthy, vegan, low-carb and high in fibre. Serve it on a piece of sourdough toast or with brown rice, buckwheat or bulgar wheat. Alternatively, you can serve it as a side dish with grilled fish, pork chops or beef steak.
