Move over avocado on toast - dips are where it's at. This recipe is embarrassingly simple, and means that even when life gives you the tragedy of squishy brown avocados, you can still make lemonade.
What's the A to V?
Famously full of heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acids, avocado is also a great source of potassium, B6 and vitamin C. The tomatoes and lime juice in the recipe here add additional vitamin C to the proceedings.

4 cherry tomatoes, very finely chopped
1/2 a spring onion, very finely sliced

The juice of 1/2 a lime
1 sprig of coriander,very finely chopped
1 tbsp of olive oil
Salt and pepper to season
Method
Peel your avocado, and slice into small chunks. In a bowl, use the back of fork to mash the avocado.
Add your tomato, cayenne pepper, lime juice, coriander and spring onion and stir well.
Add the olive oil, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and start eating.
