Easy

This is a salad I could seriously eat every day. So simple, so fresh and bursting with flavour. And yes, I don't need to tell you how healthy it is: good fats, lots of fibre and, most importantly, super easy to make. This really fills me up and I can only recommend putting this salad on the table at least once a week. The combination of creamy avocado, fresh cucumber, and spicy ginger is truly addictive. I sometimes replace the tahini with pistachio cashew or peanut butter; it's all crazy delicious!

If you're a fan of ginger, be sure to make ginger shots too.
