Delicious Beetroot and Avocado Salad

This is a simple and delicious recipe that makes for a healthy yet heart lunch!

I peeled some of the beets I had roasted, which was super easy since the skin just slips right off. They went straight in my little bento box!

Beets in the Box!

I then cut up an avocado into cubes and added it to the beets. I find that the easiest way to do this is to just slice the avocado in half, remove the pit with a knife and then slice into the fruit while it is still in the skin. Then I just use a soup spoon to scoop it out!

This avocado was just the right ripeness, from the Avocado Lady with love :)

I added a pinch of salt, the juice of half a lime, a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of black pepper. The lime adds some delicious zest and also stops the avocado from getting all brown.

I also added a tiny bit (about one tablespoon) of chopped red onion for a little extra oomph! It is a great way to offset the sweetness of the beets and the creaminess of the avocado, but I add only a little since I am afraid of having stinky onion breath for the rest of the day!

Sometimes I also like to add some plain yoghurt to the salad, but I was out and it tasted wonderful just the same! The salad was delicious and very filling; I ate it with pita bread :)

I know it might not look too pretty, but it was delicious and filling, I swear!

Total prep time: about 10min (assuming the beets are roasted and ready!)
