Quick avocado and tomato salad with feta


Avocado is one of the most delicious things I know of. It's got a lot of healthy oils, creamy and easy to pair with a lot of things. So today I decided to make a super easy avocado and tomato salad that can be served as a nice starter or an easy lunch. The things you need are:

a handful of cherry tomatoes
1 avocado
~ 75g feta
lime juice
pine nuts
parsley
green part of a spring onion


Start by putting some pine nuts in a dry pan. You're going to roast these off on medium/high heat until they get some color. You don't need to add any extra oil an these are really great if you are allergic to nuts because they are actually a seed. 


Once the pine nut is in a pan, they only need about a minute or two. Start cutting the tomatoes. I cut them in halves because I think that is enough but you can cut them into quarters if you want smaller pieces. Continue with the avocado and slice it into cubes, and then do the same with the feta. Chop up the parsley and the green part of the spring onion. This part has a mild flavor and is a great thing to use in a dish like this. 


Add it all into a bowl with some lime juice and, if you want, some salt, add in the pine nuts and give it a mix. You can eat it directly out of the bowl but I decided to plate it so it would look a bit nicer. 
Enjoy a healthy avocado and tomato salad with some feta and pine nuts!
