Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Recipe from Tanzania (freely adapted)

Peel and halve the avocado, removing the stone. Cut the avocado crosswise into approximately 1 cm wide slices and arrange on a plate. Peel the raw tomato (do not blanch it, it will be too mushy!) and deseed it, cut it into small cubes, and scatter it over the avocado. Whisk together a little neutral oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and pour over the vegetables. Tear the coriander leaves and scatter them over the top (parsley will work in a pinch, but it’s a poor substitute). Ever since I first ate it in Africa, I’ve been a fan of it: delicious, light, and fruity!
