This African avocado salad makes a healthy and flavoursome diabetic lunch idea. Quick, healthy salad for lunch on-the-go.

It’s light. It’s healthy and good for you. It’s easy to make. So easy, recipe not required. Just chop and toss and its good to go.

And the star in this recipe – avocado. Full of good fat, vitamins and anti-oxidants. Yet, creamy, buttery and melt-in-your-mouth. The Kenyan version of this recipe includes tomatoes and onions (so good you should try it!). But in this recipe, its all about the avocado.

I am sold.
